CNY 2026: The "Angpow" Safety Guide 🧧

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, many of us are preparing for the festive season. While physical cash and new notes are a cherished tradition, carrying large amounts of money and cards during busy shopping trips requires extra vigilance to stay safe.

i) Withdraw with Care: When using ATMs for "New Notes," always scan the area for loiterers and ensure the card slot hasn't been tampered with to avoid skimming devices.

ii) Limit Physical Carry: Avoid carrying all your cards in one wallet; only bring the one you need for your festive shopping to minimise risk if your wallet is lost or stolen.

iii) The Convenience of QR Angpow: If you prefer to avoid the long bank queues and the risk of carrying thick envelopes of cash, consider giving "Digital Angpow" this year. Using KAF Digital Bank QR Pay is a practical, cashless alternative that lets you send blessings instantly to loved ones, keeping your celebrations both traditional and secure.

Celebrate the season with peace of mind by embracing digital traditions and keeping your physical card habits sharp. 🍊
