What it is and what you need to initiate an Instant Money Transfer

Instant Money Transfer (IMT) is a domestic fund transfer service that allows you to instantly send money to anyone in India. You just need to share the bank account details and mobile number of the beneficiary to enable the fund transfer. With DBS Bank, you can initiate instant money transfers through methods such as IMPS, NEFT, and RTGS, available on the digibank app and internet banking portals. Your sums are credited into beneficiary accounts in 30 minutes or less and your beneficiary can withdraw the money received using a debit card from any ATM.
