What Exactly Are CDC Vouchers?
CDC vouchers are digital spending credits meant for daily essentials — not something you forget inside your bank account.
They’re designed to:
- Help households manage the cost of living
- Keep heartland businesses alive
- Push spending back into neighbourhoods
Honestly speaking, it’s one of the few schemes where everyone benefits, not just lower-income families.

Why Heartland Shops Benefit the Most
Half of every tranche must be spent at hawkers, wet markets, and small shops.
That means:
- Cai fan, kopi, bread — all count
- Money circulates locally
- Less leakage to overseas chains
For many stallholders, CDC vouchers are a big chunk of monthly sales.
The 50–50 Split — Why It Matters
Every payout is split equally. No exception.
Heartland Merchant Vouchers
- Hawker centres
- Wet markets
- Neighbourhood provision shops
- Small bakeries and coffee shops
Supermarket Vouchers
- NTUC FairPrice
- Sheng Siong
- Giant

You cannot mix them. Blue is blue. Teal is teal.
