In commemoration of 55 years of National Service (NS55), the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will be giving out an NS55 Recognition Package (RP) to thank past and present national servicemen for their contributions to Singapore’s defence and security. Eligible national servicemen will receive a hardcopy letter from mid-June 2022 to inform them of their eligibility for the NS55 RP.
The NS55 RP consists of $100 worth of credits that will be digitally disbursed via the LifeSG mobile application, and can be spent at any online/physical merchant accepting payment by “Scan and Pay” via PayNow UEN and/or NETS QR. This includes heartland shops, hawkers, and e-commerce merchants, and making payments to government agencies and educational institutions.
In addition, NSmen who have served or are currently serving Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS) will receive a year of complimentary SAFRA/HomeTeamNS principal membership. This will allow national servicemen and their family members1 to enjoy recreational facilities and lifestyle services offered by SAFRA and HomeTeamNS.

The credits can be spent at any online/physical merchant accepting payment by “Scan and Pay” via PayNow UEN QR or NETS QR, including heartland shops, hawkers, and e-commerce merchants, and making payments to government agencies and educational institutions.
