One-Time Password for Reliable Online Purchase DBS always strives for the most reliable banking services. For you to shop with your desired DBS Credit Card anytime reliably, we are going to bring you the new Verified by Visa/ MasterCard SecureCode/ American Express SafeKey "One-Time Password" (OTP) designated for online transactions.

 

What is One-Time Password?

 

OTP is used for online authentication. OTP will replace the current Verified by VISA password and the authentication will be extended to MasterCard and American Express Card. You can simply enjoy a higher level of security in online shopping experiences, and yet with greater convenience of not having to memorise the password.

 

How does it work?

 

When you use your VISA, MasterCard or American Express Card issued by us for online purchases in Verified by Visa / MasterCard SecureCode / American Express SafeKey enabled websites, after filling in the credit card numbers and other required information, a pop-up window will request you for OTP, which will be simultaneously sent by mobile phone SMS. Once OTP is correctly input, the online transaction will be authenticated.

You will not receive any OTP if you have not registered a valid mobile phone number in our record. In that case, a pop-up window will remind you to register a valid mobile phone number with us for receiving OTP. Your online transaction could be completed without authentication.
Terms & Conditions

No extra cost and registration are required to enjoy these new protections for using your DBS Credit Cards reliably. Simply provide us with your updated and valid mobile phone number by filling in and returning Customer Information Change Form.
