   Before

   Since 15 December 2023, the maximum amount that can be held in a personal e-money account is SGD 5,000 at any time, and the maximum expenditure from a personal e-money account is SGD 30,000 over a rolling 12-month period.

   After

   Since 15 December 2023, the maximum amount that can be held in a personal e-money account is SGD 20,000 at any time, and the maximum expenditure from a personal e-money account is SGD 100,000 over a rolling 12-month period (though higher limits apply for fully verified accounts).

   Why: The e-money account holding and spending limits cited were stale 2019-vintage figures (SGD 5,000/SGD 30,000) rather than the current limits that took effect in December 2023 (SGD 20,000/SGD 100,000).
