The acceptance of the eDDA set-up instruction will be subject to the payer banks’ approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is an immediate fund-in capability within DBS mobile banking by leveraging an FPS-supported service called eDDA that allows you to:
1) set up authorisation on debiting your other local bank accounts
2) submit immediate fund-in instructions
There are several possible reasons for the failure:
- If linking to virtual bank(s)1, you may not have activated their transfer limits2 to control funds flow into your same-name /unregistered beneficiaries accounts at other bank(s) yet.
- If linking to a specific bank3, you may not have logged in to the bank’s mobile app> Payment> Autopay to give your confirmation on our account linking request within 5 business days yet.
- You may have input the credit card/ debit card number instead of bank account number for the setup, especially for virtual banks.
- You may have included the bank code, spaces or hyphens when entering the bank account number (e.g. your bank account number is 012-123-123456-987, please enter 123123456987 and exclude 012 which is the bank code of Bank of China in this example)
The bank code is automatically inserted after you select the bank to link:
- Your information below with us does not match the other bank’s record:
- Name of accountholder
- Identification document type
- HK ID card or Passport number
- Mobile number
- Your other bank account(s) may be dormant (i.e. no activity for a specific period of time other than transactions initiated by the bank itself).
If you have checked the above reasons and retried, but still encounter setup failure, please check with your other bank(s) for details.
