Rate increase will support enhancements to the postal service and rising network costs for long-term sustainability
Singapore, 9 December 2025 - Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) will increase the rate for all regular domestic mail by ten cents with effect from 1 January 2026. The new rate for Standard Regular Mail and Standard Large Mail will be S$0.62 and S$0.90 respectively. Rates of domestic bulk mail used by businesses will also increase. The change in postage rates will enable SingPost to continue to invest in modernisation efforts to improve customer experience and operational efficiency. Full details of the rates are available on the SingPost website.
Mark Chong, Chief Executive Officer of SingPost, said: “This increase is a necessary step to balance the structural cost of our domestic mail operations, while providing our customers with reliable services. It will enable us to continue fulfilling our national postal mandate while advancing SingPost’s transformation into a technology-driven logistics leader.”
SingPost has undertaken significant initiatives over the last 12 months to improve service quality and efficiency. The company remains committed to its mandate to deliver reliable and high-quality postal services to consumers and businesses in Singapore.
SingPost’s recent enhancements include:
● Expanding service touchpoints: To enhance customer convenience and accessibility, SingPost has expanded its network to about 2,500 touchpoints, including rolling out additional POPDrops, partnerships with Cheers and FairPrice XPress, and collaboration with PICK lockers to bring services closer to the customers.
● Enhancing eCommerce capabilities: SingPost has invested S$30 million in automation technology at its Regional eCommerce Logistics Hub to expand its small parcel processing capacity, strengthen operational resilience and support Singapore’s growing eCommerce ecosystem.
● Keeping pace with global changes: SingPost swiftly launched SpeedPost Direct International to help customers navigate the changes in US postal regulations, requiring a solution that could handle the necessary payment of duties and taxes.
● SingPost@MyBlock trial: SingPost is trialling new posting box solutions where residents can drop off letters closer to home at their block instead of the posting box.
The increase in postage rates is also aimed at addressing the persistent structural decline in mail volume and escalating operational costs, so as to support SingPost’s sustainability in the longer term and is able to continue to meet Singapore’s postal needs. This trend and structural decline is seen in other countries as well, as postal operators work towards long- term sustainability.
Mail volumes in Singapore have fallen by more than 40% since FY2019/2020. This, coupled by the shift to digital communications, has left postal service providers having to balance rising costs to provide the service - including labour, energy, and infrastructure - against the postage collected.
