Singapore Corporate Access, otherwise known as CorpPass, will be the only login method for businesses to transact with the Government online from September 1, 2018 onwards.
CorpPass serves as a single platform to manage authorisation across the multiple digital services that government agencies offer. It was launched by the Government Technology Agency (GovTech) as a single corporate digital identity to centralize the digital accounts of business entities with multiple government agencies – substituting the multiple login IDs they were required to have with each government agency.
It was rolled out in September 2016 and is currently used by more than 130 government digital services as a login method. CorpPass is expected to create a more secure and organized process to allow businesses to effectively manage their transactions with the Government and gain access to more digital services without being wary of encountering fraudulent transactions.
CorpPass will be required for local entities bearing a Unique Entity Number (UEN) and for foreign entities who wish to access Singapore’s Government-to-Business digital services.
