Save up to 70% on Payboy HR software with Digi-TAC

With the Digi-TAC programme, Trade Associations and Chambers (TACs) can now depend on pre-approved vendors such as Payboy to adopt digital solutions with up to 70% funding support. Read on to find out if you are eligible for Digi-TAC and how to apply!

What is the Digitalisation of TACs (Digi-TAC) programme?

Jointly led by the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and SGTech, the Digitalisation of TACs (Digi-TAC) programme aims to support TACs to digitalise and adopt solutions to remain relevant. 

Digi-TAC will support TACs in two areas:

(a) Adoption of digital solutions to improve and boost capabilities in key corporate functions; and

(b) Training of TAC secretariat staff to equip them with foundational digital capabilities to enable them to support their respective industries and members.

A list of pre-approved solutions and training courses has also been curated to help TACs find a reliable, market-proven and cost-effective solution in functions such as Human Resource, Accounting Management, Digital Marketing and Customer Relationship Management.

How long does the Digi-TAC programme last?

Eligible TACs can apply to participate in Digi-TAC from 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2025. Applications will be evaluated and are subject to approval.

How much funding support will Digi-TAC applicants receive?

TACs will receive 70% support on qualifying costs under the Digi-TAC programme.

The grant amount allocated to each TAC is $60,000 throughout the three-year programme period, with an annual grant cap of $30,000 per programme year. Eligible TACs will have their annual grant cap refreshed at the start of the next programme year (1 August of every year).

What are the eligibility criteria to join Digi-TAC?

The Digi-TAC programme is open to all TACs that are registered as a Trade Association or Chamber of Commerce under ACRA or ROS. TACs don’t have to be a member of SBF to apply.

TACs can apply for Digi-TAC if they meet the following criteria:

  • Must be a Trade Association or Chamber of Commerce registered with the Registry of Societies or ACRA;
  • Must represent the business interests of (a) trade(s) or industry sector(s) whose members are operating in or from Singapore;
  • Has a Management Committee or Board or Council overseeing the activities of the TAC;

  • Has at least three full-time salaried employees working in the TAC;
  • Has at least 50 members with at least 75% of them being SMEs;
  • Has not obtained other funding from government agencies for a similar project; and

What is the expected processing time for the application?
