You will get the cash portion of the Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) via one of the following payment methods.

 

By default, the WIS cash portion will be paid to your PayNow-NRIC-linked bank account. To check your bank account details, please approach your bank.

 

If you do not have a PayNow-NRIC-linked bank account with a PayNow-GIRO-participating local or foreign bank in Singapore but have provided your DBS/POSB, OCBC or UOB bank account to the Government previously, you will get your cash portion of WIS via bank transfer. You can check and update your bank account details registered with us by logging in to our e-services with your Singpass.

 

GovCash is a payment mode that allows Singaporeans to receive their benefits from Government agencies more quickly and conveniently. You are encouraged to link your NRIC to PayNow with a PayNow-GIRO-participating local or foreign bank in Singapore to get your benefits earlier*.

 

If you do not have a PayNow-NRIC-linked bank account nor a bank account registered with us, you will get the WIS cash portion via GovCash. 

 

*If you have linked your NRIC number to your bank account after the 16th of the month or submitted your bank account details after the 14th of the month, your updates will only be effective in the following month.
