Ample Transfers plans to broaden digital payment capabilities following in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

SINGAPORE, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ample Transfers, a Singapore-based provider of remittance and money-changing services established in 1998, has received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to expand its scope of regulated payment services under the Payment Services Act 2019.

The approval, part of a licence variation application, allows Ample Transfers to work towards offering four additional regulated services, subject to the fulfilment of conditions set out by MAS:

Account issuance serviceDomestic money transfer serviceMerchant acquisition serviceE-money issuance service

Ample Transfers is currently licensed to provide cross-border money transfer and money-changing services in Singapore.

This milestone positions Ample as one of the few Singapore-based players bridging the physical and digital remittance experience. If fully approved, it would enable Ample Transfers to extend its digital payment solutions to serve its core customer base better while continuing to build on its longstanding community presence. The company’s recent launch of remit.ai, an app-less, chat-driven service available at https://www.remit.ai/, complements its established retail footprint—reinforcing its unique approach to accessibility and trust in financial services.

Singapore’s payments ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and so are we,” said Matthew Yap, CEO of Ample Transfers. This in-principle approval reflects the growth journey we’ve shared with the communities we serve. We remain grounded in the needs of everyday people while building for the future with new tools and technologies.”

Looking ahead, Ample Transfers aims to deepen its commitment to financial inclusion, offering customers even more convenient and secure ways to move money, both online and over the counter.

About the IPA from the Monetary Authority of Singapore

An in-principle approval (IPA) in respect of a licence variation application reflects MAS’s view that the applicant’s licence variation application may be approved upon the fulfilment of specified conditions and provided there are no material adverse developments affecting the applicant. An IPA does not constitute an approval for the Company to provide Account Issuance, Domestic Money Transfer, Merchant Acquisition and E-Money Issuance services at this juncture. MAS reserves the right to rescind the IPA in circumstances where it considers appropriate.

INDY 500 Stars Join Forces with ZERO Prostate Cancer to Put Veterans’ Health in the Spotlight at Memorial Day Weekend Races

Published

on

By

INDIANAPOLIS, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This Memorial Day Weekend, the spotlight won’t only be on speed—it’ll be on saving lives. ZERO Prostate Cancer (ZERO), the nation’s leading advocacy and support organization for prostate cancer, is proud to announce its powerful presence across America’s most iconic motorsports stages: the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 and BetMGM 300. The message? Veterans are twice as likely to face prostate cancer—and early detection saves lives.

“This weekend isn’t just about racing—it’s about saving lives,” said Josh Bilicki.

In partnership with Juncos Hollinger Racing, ZERO’s logo will be featured on two cars in the 1009th Running of the Indianapolis 500—the world’s biggest single-day sporting event—on Sunday, May 25 at 12:45 PM ET (FOX). ZERO’s logo will appear on the cars of INDYCAR drivers Conor Daly and Sting Ray Robb.

At the same time, ZERO and partner AstraZeneca are making waves in NASCAR’s patriotic tribute weekend with two ZERO-branded vehicles:

No. 66 Ford Mustang driven by Josh Bilicki in the Coca-Cola 600 (Sunday, May 25 at 6:00 PM ET on Amazon Prime)No. 53 Chevrolet Camaro driven by JJ Yeley in the BetMGM 300 (Saturday, May 24 at 1:00 PM ET on The CW)

Together, this high-octane campaign is bringing national visibility to a deadly disease that claims a man’s life every 15 minutes in the U.S.—and hits military Veterans at double the rate of the general population.

“This weekend isn’t just about racing—it’s about saving lives,” said Josh Bilicki. “If even one man schedules a PSA test because of this message, we’ve done our job.”

“As a 48-year-old and part of a sport deeply rooted in the Veteran community, this message really hits home,” said JJ Yeley. “We’re proud to be racing for something bigger than ourselves.”

“Prostate cancer has become too big to ignore,” said Courtney Bugler, President and CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer. “More than 3 million men in the U.S. are living with this disease, and too many don’t even know they’re at risk—especially our Veterans. Memorial Day is about honoring those we’ve lost, and at ZERO, we’re also fighting to save the ones still here.”

This campaign aligns with ZERO’s bold initiative to save 100,000 lives by 2035, with targeted efforts toward Veterans, Black men, and rural communities—the populations most impacted by the disease.

“It’s time to race toward solutions,” said Daniele Paone, VP US, GYN/GU Cancer Franchise, AstraZeneca. “We’re proud to team up with ZERO and the motorsports community to drive awareness where it’s urgently needed.”

For nearly 30 years, ZERO has been on the front lines of the prostate cancer fight, providing education, support, and advocacy to patients and families. This Memorial Day, from Indy to Charlotte, the message is unmistakable: know your risk, talk to your doctor and get screened.
