Will the Singpass app replace Corppass?
No, the Singpass app will not replace Corppass. Corppass remains the primary authorisation system in Singapore for businesses and organisations to manage authorised access to digital services for corporate transactions.
For clarity, while both Singpass and Corppass are digital identity systems in Singapore, they serve distinct purposes:
Singpass is used for individual authentication, allowing users to access personal government and business services.
Corppass is specifically designed for corporate users to conduct business transactions with corporate digital services on behalf of their organisations.
The relationship between Singpass and Corppass works as follows:
When logging into a corporate service integrated with Corppass, users can authenticate themselves using the Singpass app.
After authentication, Corppass verifies whether the user is associated with an entity and has been authorised to transact with that particular corporate service.
To enhance convenience, corporate features have been added to the Singpass app. Authorised individuals can now access relevant corporate data on-the-go by linking their corporate accounts to their Singpass app. This integration provides secure and convenient access to corporate information without replacing the distinct functions of Corppass.
