FAQs
Can I apply for Import Financing if I do not have a credit facility with DBS?

No, you must have a credit facility with DBS before we can finance your purchases. Please contact us if you require one and are interested in applying for our Import and Trade Financing, and a range of other loan services we offer to our valued customers.
Will DBS remind me when my import loan is due?

No. The loan amount due will be automatically debited from your account on the due date.  Please ensure that there are sufficient funds in your account.
Can I ask for an extension on the due date?

Yes, however, this is subject to approval. The import loan period must not exceed the maximum period granted in the letter of offer.
Can I repay the import loan before the due date?

Yes, however, you will be subject to a fee. Please contact us to find out more.
