Users can soon pay for oBike with GrabPay. oBike signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Grab, integrating GrabPay – Grab’s mobile wallet into its mobile app, offering bike-riders an additional secure cashless payment option via the GrabPay wallet.

Besides using GrabPay, oBike users will also be able to earn GrabReward points when they pay for their bike rides using GrabPay in the coming months.

Through various co-branded initiatives, including Grab’s branding on oBike bicycles, the two companies aim to promote bike-riding as an alternative first- and last-mile commute across the island. This partnership will make urban cycling more convenient and accessible for commuters, and cements oBike’s commitment to working with other players in Singapore’s on-demand transport ecosystem. 

More partnership initiatives between the two companies will be revealed in the coming weeks. The station-less smart bike-sharing company and ride hailing service provider Grab aims to improve on-demand transport infrastructure in Singapore.

“We are excited to enhance the oBike user experience by partnering with Grab – the leading on-demand transportation and mobile payments platform in Southeast Asia. I believe that this partnership, between two market leaders, is a natural extension of our goal to enhance the bike-sharing experience for commuters and strengthen our position as Singapore’s first bike-sharing operator,” said Tim Phang, General Manager, oBike Singapore.
