A nominal amount of ₹150+₹27 (GST) would be charged once a year. The first debit of the annual charges will be processed starting July 2020. Please note that you may be also charged for subsequent reissuances of your physical debit card. An email was sent by us from the email id - digiconnect@dbs.com, in the month of June 2020 notifying our customers of the charges.

The annual debit card charges will be ₹150+18% GST (₹27). Hence ₹177 will be debited from your digiSavings account.

We regret that there are no waivers applicable on the annual debit card charges.

Tokenization is the process of replacing a card’s 16-digit number on the plastic card with a unique alternate card number, or ‘Token’ which shall be unique for a combination of card, token requestor and device. Tokens can be used for online transactions, mobile point-of-sale transactions or in-app transactions. This token contains no personal information that can be directly accessed making it secure method to complete payments.

RBI has directed the payment aggregators, wallets and online merchants (entities in card transaction/payment chain other than card issuers/card networks) not to store any sensitive card related customer information including full card details. Hence, the card numbers can be replaced with ‘token’s as mentioned above. This RBI mandate would come into effect from 1^st October 2022. Please be assured that this will not hamper your credit card experience but will make your credit card transactions more secure. 

As the card details will not be saved from 1^st October 2022 you will need to tokenize your card on the corresponding Merchant website or app. You can then continue to make payments without entering your card details again on that Merchant if you have generated a token. If you do not tokenize your card, then you would have to manually enter your full card details for making transactions.

This token will be used instead of your card details for all the online payments you make on the merchants.

A tokenized card transaction is considered safer as the actual card details are not shared / stored with the merchants to perform the transaction.

You should follow the instructions specified by the online Merchant and follow the registration and verification flow in order to register for Tokenization and store the token with the online Merchant. 

Generally, the process would entail filing your card details, followed by verification via OTP and then a token will be generated associated with your card. This token will be saved by the online Merchant.

If you do not choose to tokenize your card then you will have to enter all your card details including card number, expiry and CVV for every payment you make.

No, token registered on one merchant cannot be used on another merchant. Each merchant will have a unique token associated with every card saved on that Merchant. This token cannot be used for any other card that you might have or on any other merchant. Essentially, your card will have multiple tokens based on the number of Merchant you would have tokenized your card with.

You can delete token by directly going to the merchant’s website/app and deleting the card associated with the token from your payment preferences.

You can request for Tokenization of any number of cards to perform a transaction.

For performing any transaction, you will be free to use any of the cards registered with the token requestor / merchant.

You will be able to see the last 4 digits of the card on the merchant page.

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 INR 2,000, 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 .

When shown on a card, the EMVCo Contactless Indicator* means the card has the capability to make contactless payments.

When shown at a merchant, the Contactless Indicator means a merchant accepts contactless payments.
