FAQs
What is a Virtual Account?

A Virtual Account (VA) is an account created and assigned to each of your paying customers, for example, a main distributor or buyer, so that your business will be able to differentiate each payment from the payment source. The payments made to the different Virtual Accounts will be automatically directed into your Business Account registered for the Virtual Account.
Do I need a DBS Business Account to use a Virtual Account?

Yes, you will need to have a Business Account with us to use this service. Your Business Account will act as your Master Account that gets credited when your payers pay into a Virtual Account.
How many Virtual Account numbers can I create?

You can create as many Virtual Account numbers as required for your business banking needs. Each Virtual Account number has up to 16 digits. All you have to do is to customise the last 9 to 11 digits of your Virtual Account number and assign that Virtual Account number to one of your paying customers. You repeat the same process for other paying customers.
When my customer pays me through the Virtual Account number, does the fund go directly to the VA or my account registered for the VA?

The funds will go directly to the account registered for the Virtual Account, since the Virtual Account serves only as a mirror account for the Business Account registered. The purpose of opening a Virtual Account through our bank is to help your accounting with a better process for consolidation and tracking of payments from the same payer.
Which account should I register for the Virtual Account?

The Current Account that you hold with us is referred to as the account registered for the Virtual Account.
