Device binding is the process of linking your DBS Card+ account with your device to enable identity authentication when making transactions or managing your finances. After completing the device binding process, you can only use the same device to log in to DBS Card+ app and check your credit card details.

2. What is the "Show Card Details" function?

DBS Card+ app has launched the "Show Card Details" function which allows you to view your credit card information, such as the card number, expiry date and security code, without needing to carry the physical card. You can use this function after logging in to the Card+ app, completing the device binding process. Simply go to the "Cards" tab in the menu, select a card, tap "Show Card Details", and complete the SMS verification to view the card details. Please note that this function does not support American Express credit cards.
