Here’s When, Where & How to Get New Notes!


Chinese New Year (CNY) is just around the corner!

Source: Gfycat

And with that comes the tradition of giving out red packets to wish our friends and family an auspicious new year.

In the spirit of embracing both old and new, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) encourages us to use “Fit-for-Gifting” (Fit) notes or e-hong baos.

MAS will no longer produce and issue “Good-As-New” (GAN) dollar notes in 2024 for Chinese New Year.

As such, we can only get New or Fit notes.

If you still prefer handing physical red packets to your relatives, here are some things you have to take note of when you want to exchange or order New/Fit notes online this CNY.


TL;DR: CNY New Notes 2024 Guide — How to Get New Notes for CNY 2024

  • To withdraw Fit or New notes for CNY, you have to pre-book an appointment from 17 Jan 2024 at the respective DBS, OCBC, UOB, CIMB, Standard Chartered Bank (SCB), or Maybank’s online reservation websites before heading to the bank.
    Only DBS, OCBC, and UOB offer both Fit and new notes, while CIMB, SCB and Maybank offer only New notes.
  • The exception to this is for those aged 60 and above or those with disabilities, as they will get to exchange Fit and New Notes at DBS, OCBC, UOB, CIMB, SCB, Maybank and other banks. You are also advised to pre-book before going down.
  • To get New/Fit notes without pre-booking, there will be designated/pop-up ATMs disbursing them at various locations across Singapore from 24 Jan 2024
  • Notes are disbursed on a first-come-first-serve basis.
