B. Unsuccessful Application

I've received an email saying that my application was unsuccessful. Why is that?

Currently, we only accept Singaporeans/PRs as our riders. We do not accept foreigners with work permits or long term passes.

All pandariders have to be 18 and above.

We are unable to process your application if you’re still serving national service.

You will need to have a DBS/POSB bank account to apply with us since we are moving to an automated system. This system only supports DBS/POSB bank account users.

It is a requirement to complete and pass our quiz. This ensures us that you are equipped with the information required to be a pandarider.

Note: If you have already come down to onboard with us and have an account on roadrunner, kindly ignore the email you’ve received. We delete duplicate applications at the end of the day which get automatic unsuccessful application emails.
