UnionPay Blissful Poetry POS Brings Festive Cheer to Beneficiaries of Community Chest this Lunar New Year

SINGAPORE,Feb. 11,2021 --UnionPay Internationaland ChinaLiteraturehave jointly launched UnionPay Blissful Poetry POS (Point-of-Sale terminal),a unique,first of its kind concept in Singapore where poetries,short stories and Chinese New Year wishes are printed on receipts when public make donations at kiosks installed at Marina Bay Sands.

The UnionPay Blissful Poetry POS in Singapore is adapted from the success of a similar campaign done by UnionPay in China,where short stories written by children in China were printed on a receipt each time a UnionPay customer donated at designated POS machines. The Poetry POS campaign in China showcased the writing talents and raised awareness of these children,with donations raised channeled to educational resources for them.

Singapore is the first stop outside China to activate the UnionPay Poetry POS. Content on receipts are written by students supported by Singapore Community Chest (ComChest),children from China,authors at Webnovel and venue partner Marina Bay Sands. All donations from UnionPay Blissful Poetry POS will go to beneficiaries of ComChest.

The public can experience The UnionPay Poetry POS at The Shoppes,Marina Bay Sands,Level 1 (between Chanel and Gucci) from now until 28 February 2021. Donations can be made using UnionPay Cards,UnionPay QR Code and PayNow QR Code.

Mr. Huiming Cai,General Manager,UnionPay International Southeast Asia said "While Chinese New Year is a joyous festival for celebrations,it is also a time to reflect and focus on the less fortunate.
