DBS Bank Debit Card

Visa Tap to Pay is a new contactless method of payment – the latest evolution in Visa payments. It is a simple, secure and quick payment method. The technology enables cardholders to ‘Tap’ their card on a contactless Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminal to make transactions up to INR2,000, rather than ‘swiping’ or ‘dipping’ their card into PoS terminals.

Visa Contactless cards have a tiny antenna embedded into the chip, which securely transmits payment instructions to and from a specially adapted card terminal. These cards feature a distinctive contactless mark and PoS terminals that accept contactless cards will also feature this contactless symbol.

At DBS Bank, we’re always looking for ways to enhance your banking experience. Introducing Visa Tap to Pay-enabled DBS Bank Debit Cards will let you make quick and easy transactions. As we want you to take advantage of the newest features and advantages, Visa Tap to Pay debit cards will be provided when:

• You request a Debit Card for the first time on the digibank app
• You ask for a replacement card
• You renew your DBS Bank Debit Card/li>

You can use your Visa Tap to Pay-enabled card at any retailer displaying the contactless symbol at the point of sale, both in India and overseas.
