SINGAPORE: Introduction of ‘CorpPass’ for company transactions online
The Ministry of Manpower in Singapore has implemented the use of Singapore Corporate Access (CorpPass) for companies using Employment Pass Online.
How does this affect the client?
Companies utilizing the Employment Pass Online system for Employment Pass, SingPass and other transactions, are advised to create a CorpPass account. Although SingPass can continue to be utilized without a CorpPass account, there are plans to make the use of CorpPass mandatory for all company related transactions. It is therefore recommended that all businesses register for a CorpPass account at their earliest convenience. Companies are able to register for an account on this website.
Background:
CorpPass was introduced in 2016 and is described as “a one-stop authentication and authorisation service, for corporate users to transact with agencies online and on behalf of their organisations”.
