MANULIFEMOVE BY MANULIFE SINGAPORE
ManulifeMove is a health and wellness programme that rewards physically active customers with premium cashback.
The mechanics are simple: Walk an average of 10,000 steps a day and receive $50 cashback every six months until the end of your insurance policy.
The recent launch follows the campaign roll-out across Asia, with Singapore being the first and only market to reward customers with cash for achieving their set step goals.
A Manulife study covering Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Philippines found that Singapore was the most expensive country to lead a healthy lifestyle, with the average person spending $406 a month on healthy living compared with Hong Kong ($389), Malaysia ($335) and the Philippines ($337).
The survey indicated that 52 per cent of Singaporeans find it more expensive to make healthier food choices, choosing less healthy options when eating out because they are tastier, cheaper and more filling.
It also found that 80 per cent choose to stay healthy through general everyday movement and activity such as walking up the stairs, while 50 per cent track sporting activity using apps/smart watches and 33 per cent prefer cashback as their reward for staying healthy.
CO-BRAND CREDIT CARD BY MAYBANK SINGAPORE AND FC BARCELONA
The Maybank FC Barcelona Visa Signature credit card is Maybank's first co-brand partnership with the famed Barcelona football club.

In the first year, Maybank Singapore aims to issue around 10,000 cards.
There will be a special draw for users who charge to their card until June 30, with two prize packages that each include a pair of economy class flights to Barcelona, three days of deluxe hotel accommodation and two tickets to the club's matches at Camp Nou stadium.
