Paying Your Credit Card Balance

What payment methods can I use?

There are plenty of options available. Check the following table for details:

How long do I get interest-free on purchases?

You will have 25 interest-free days to make payment before your next Statement of Account is generated. After which, if you have not made full payment by the payment due date, you will be billed for interest, calculated daily from the date your transaction(s) were posted to your card account until full payment is received, subject to a minimum S$2.50.

Are there fees if I don’t pay?

For partial payment or non-payment by the due date, there will be Finance Charges computed at the prevailing interest rate of 26.80% per annum levied. Finance charges are calculated daily from the date each transaction is posted to your card account until full payment is received. A minimum finance charge of S$2.50 is applicable.

S$100 will be levied if minimum payment is not received on the card account by payment due date, provided your outstanding balance is above S$200, with effect from 27 April 2021.

When will an interest adjustment be added to your account?

If the bank does not receive the required minimum payment by its due date (for example, due date on 25 June as illustrated in the example below), the interest rate applicable to your Credit Card account will be increased by 3% p.a. on top of the prevailing interest rate (”Increased Interest Rate”). This Increased Interest Rate shall be applied to the outstanding balance in your Credit Card account from the first working day after the date of the subsequent Credit Card account statement following your Credit Card account statement (i.e. from August’s statement), and used to compute the finance charges applicable to your Credit Card account.

This additional interest rate shall be applied even if minimum payment is received by the Bank on or before the due date of the following month (i.e. in July).

In the event that the minimum payment is made in full on or before the due date for the next statement (for example for August statement), the Increased Interest Rate shall be reinstated to the prevailing interest rate on the first working day after your next Statement Date (i.e. from September’s statement).

Example:

How do I know when the additional interest rate will be applied to my Credit Card Account?

Any adjustment/reinstatement to the prevailing interest rate will be reflected in your monthly statement under your Account number.

Example:

What will happen if I miss my payment again?

If you miss your payment again during the period of the 1 month during which you must maintain minimum payment in order for the Increased Interest Rate to be reinstated to the prevailing interest rate, the Increased Interest Rate will continue to apply until minimum payment is made in full for 1 month period. Using the example above, the prevailing interest rate will only be reinstated from October’s statement.

Example:

How can I avoid paying interest and fees?

• If you pay your credit card balance in full each month by the due date.
• If you pay the minimum amount each month by the due date, you can avoid late payment charges.

Enhancing Card Usage Security

1. What is EMV?
   EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard, Visa which is a joint effort to ensure security and global Interoperability so that MasterCard and Visa cards can continue to be accepted everywhere. With the EMV Smart Chip, your card is protected against fraudulent activities and you can enjoy the highest level of security when transacting on your Card.

2. How does my EMV Chip Card offer enhanced security against fraud?
   The microprocessor chip on the EMV Chip Card is protected by cryptographic encryption, which prevents its contents from being replicated. The chip-based card complies with the MAS standards of data security. Magnetic stripe cards, on the other hand, use an older technology making the card vulnerable to cloning.

3. Can I use my EMV Chip Card overseas?
   Yes, you may use your EMV Chip Card overseas. However, in some countries, EMV Chip Cards are not prevalent and not all terminals accept EMV Chip Cards. In these countries, your transactions can still be processed via the magnetic stripe.

4. I have other main and or supplementary credit card(s) with DBS. Will these cards be replaced with EMV Chip Cards as well?
   Yes, we are progressively sending out EMV Chip Cards to customers.

5. What happens to my current PIN?
   Your current PIN remains unchanged and will continue to apply to your new EMV Chip Card.

6. Can I use the EMV Chip Card for online transactions as well as at ATMs?
   Yes, you can use your EMV Chip Card for online purchases and perform cash advances at ATMs. You may also perform cash withdrawals at ATMs if you have linked your DBS Current/Savings account to your Credit/Debit Card.

7. What happens to my GIRO, installment payment plan as well as recurring payment arrangements on my current card?
   Your new EMV Chip Card bears the same 16-digit credit card number as your current Card. Hence, all these arrangements will remain unchanged.

8. What happens to the DBS Reward Points / Dollars on my current card?
   Your DBS Reward Points / Dollars will continue to remain in your account.

9. Will the change in the expiry date of the card affect my online or ecommerce transaction(s)?
   Yes. Please update your existing ecommerce merchants of the new expiry date of the card to ensure transactions are not affected.

10. What should I do if my EMV Chip Card has been misplaced?
    Visit our Cards Digital Services Page at go.dbs.com/sg-digitalservices to block and replace your card. Alternatively, you may call our Customer Service Centre at 1800 111 1111 or (65) 6327 2265 from overseas.
