upcoming Chinese New Year. Each bank has limited slots for pre-booking, and you can collect your pre-booked notes from the branches from 3 February. To prevent phishing scams, banks will not send any SMS messages with clickable links.<\/p>\n<p>To start pre-booking, you can either access your bank\u2019s website or mobile banking app and use the special pre-booking page. From there, you can select the denominations and desired quantities, and select your preferred bank branch to pick up your notes.<\/p>\n<p>DBS, OCBC, and UOB customers aged 60 and above, and those with disabilities can walk in to exchange their old notes for new ones without needing to pre-book a slot online. However, it\u2019s highly encouraged to do so to avoid overcrowding at the bank branches.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"new-notes-in-singapore-which-banks-offer-pre-booking\"><\/span>New notes in Singapore: Which banks offer pre-booking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-dbs\"><\/span>1.
