MyInfo is an e-citizen service launched in May last year with the aim to pull personal data, such as Names, NRIC Numbers and Addresses from public agencies for the use in private sector. Pilot run has been carried out  with four banks - DBS, OCBC, UOB and Standard Chartered since May and four more banks (Citibank, HSBC, Maybank and American Express) will be on board by the first quarter of next year.
