Acquisition builds on StarHub’s multi-brand strategy while giving MyRepublic Mobile customers seamless continuity and access to StarHub’s nationwide 5G+ network
SINGAPORE, 8 October 2026 – StarHub will acquire MyRepublic’s mobile business in Singapore, further strengthening its multi-brand mobile strategy and supporting continued investment in Singapore’s connectivity infrastructure.
The acquisition brings together complementary strengths while preserving the distinct MyRepublic Mobile brand and proposition for customers. MyRepublic Mobile customers will continue to enjoy their existing services without disruption, backed by StarHub’s secure, reliable and extensive mobile network.
As Singapore’s digital needs continue to grow, the transaction will allow greater scale to be directed towards sustained network investment, service innovation and customer experience, while continuing to provide consumers with differentiated brands and propositions to meet different needs.
Nikhil Eapen, Chief Executive Officer, StarHub, said: “Our acquisition of MyRepublic Mobile completes a multi-year journey that began with our investment in MyRepublic Broadband in 2021, culminating in full ownership of MyRepublic across both broadband and mobile. With ongoing consolidation, we are bringing greater scale to invest more effectively in the networks, resilience and innovation that Singapore will increasingly depend on. This transaction strengthens those foundations while continuing to give consumers meaningful choice in how they connect.”
Matt Williams, Chief Executive Officer-designate, StarHub, said: “MyRepublic Mobile is a strong fit with our multi-brand, multi-segment strategy. Different customers want different things from their mobile experience, and our approach allows us to offer distinct brands and propositions while giving more customers access to the strength of StarHub’s network. With our 5G+ network, we are continuing to invest in faster speeds, stronger indoor coverage and a better overall mobile experience, while building the scale needed to serve customers more effectively.”
Vaughan Baker, Group Chief Executive Officer, MyRepublic, said: “For MyRepublic Mobile customers, we deeply appreciate your support and loyalty over the years and nothing changes for you, continuity and quality of service remain our main priority. Customers will remain on the same plans and services they have today, without disruption, while continuing to benefit from StarHub’s safe, reliable and extensive network.”
The acquisition builds on the existing relationship between StarHub and MyRepublic, with MyRepublic Mobile customers already being progressively migrated onto StarHub’s network, providing a strong foundation for a smooth transition and continuity of service. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to the fulfilment of the applicable conditions precedent by both parties.
