An overdraft is a short-term standby credit facility for businesses. It provides you with access to additional funds up to an approved credit limit whenever you need an extra working capital to cover a gap in cash flow or manage unexpected business expenses. With our overdraft, you only pay interest on the amount you use, without a minimum requirement for your repayments.

FAQs
What is an overdraft?

An overdraft is a line of credit issued by banks to clients that enables them to make transactions when their account balance falls below zero. Businesses that opt for an overdraft will only have to pay interest on the amount they use.
What is the difference between an overdraft and instalment loan?

Overdrafts only charge interest on the funds you use. Instalment loans, on the other hand, require you to repay the whole amount, including interest, in fixed instalments over a set period of time.
How does the unsecured overdraft facility work?

Our overdraft facility allows flexible usage as you can loan up to an approved credit limit anytime. Interest is only charged on the amount used so you can better manage your funds.
How is my overdraft secured?

Your overdraft may be secured or unsecured. Eligible securities that may be considered include properties and fixed deposits.
How quickly do I have to pay back an unsecured overdraft?

There is no fixed repayment schedule of the principal and interest for overdrafts as this is a revolving line of credit given to our SME customers to meet their short-term funding needs.
Do I need to have a Business Account with DBS in order to use my overdraft facility?

Yes, you will need a DBS Business Account to be eligible for our overdraft and other working capital services.

Please refer to our DBS Business Account page for more details.
How will I know if my application has been approved?

A Relationship Manager will be assigned to you and will contact you to arrange for the necessary documents required to facilitate the overdraft to your DBS Business Account.

Please call us at 2290 8068 for more information and if you need assistance.
What is the limit for overdrafts provided by DBS?
