Li Chun Starts on 4 February 2024
Known as “the Beginning of Spring”, Li Chun ē«ę„ 2024Ā falls on 4 February 2024Ā this year.
During Li Chun ē«ę„ every year, each Chinese Zodiac is assigned a few auspicious times throughout the day.
In Singapore, there’s a belief that by depositing money into your bank account during these auspicious times (when assigned with your Chinese Zodiac), you will get to enjoy good fortune and stable income for the rest of the year.
Every year, we have a culture of queueing at the ATMs to deposit money on Li Chun, all for luck.

Hacks to Avoid the Queue This Li Chun
Given the advancement in technology, there are definitely ways we can hack around the process and make us queue lesser.
Improving the Current Li Chun Process With E-Wallets
Our current procedure involves:
- Queuing at the ATM
- Taking money out of our physical wallet
- Depositing money into the bank accounts
This process, however, results in long queues at the cash deposit machines and time wastage while queuing:
While we know that Singaporeans queue for EVERYTHING, we know that not everyone can queue for hours just to deposit money.
You can transfer some money into your digital wallets, such as Paynow, DBS PayLah!, or OCBC Pay Anyone, instead of going to the ATM.
And to make the most of this opportunity, don’t forget to put your money in a savings account that pays you the highest interest rates.
