They hatched the scam after Tan Kay Tee, 30, then a customer service officer with insurance firm NTUC Income, realised that he could access the credit card details of clients stored in the company's database.
He told his friend Kok Chiang Loong, also 30, who got his girlfriend's brother Chew Hui Hao, then 16, to agree to the use of a bank account and its ATM card.
In July and August 2006, they transferred more than $21,000 from 44 credit card accounts to the bank account.
Kok, 30, was jailed for 10 months for the offences under the Computer Misuse Act on Tuesday.
