To receive payments into your Aspire Account via GIRO, please complete the GIRO Credit Authorization Form and include your Aspire SGD Account details.

Aspire has received and successfully processed incoming GIRO DCA forms (e.g. Enterprise Singapore) and subsequent payments.

However, certain Government entities (e.g. Vendors@Gov, IRAS) might NOT support paying to third-party virtual accounts such as Aspire, even after the GIRO DCA form is endorsed.

Aspire is constantly working to ensure that more participants accept virtual accounts and discussions usually take place over an extended period of time.

If you are unable to perform a DCA to your Aspire virtual account, please arrange for alternative accounts for the DCA to be credited to, and submit this form here so we can begin discussions with the relevant parties.

Enterprise Singapore

For Enterprise SG GIRO Form, the applicant (yourself) is required to fill in "Part 1" first before Aspire signs off on the subsequent portions (as a checker in the maker-checker process). Please use your 12-digit account number when filling out this form.

Once you have filled in Part 1, you can send the form to our Support team by following the steps by steps below:

  • Click on the green messenger icon in the bottom right-hand corner

  • Under the Messages tab, click "Send us a message"

  • Type in your query (e.g.: Submit Direct Credit Authorization Form)

  • Choose "Talk to a person"

Our Support team will take it ahead by signing Part 2.
