DBS RAPID is a digital solution that leverages DBS’ application programming interface (API) capabilities.
DBS RAPID facilitates business transactions within your ecosystem by integrating real-time processing of payments, receivables and information enquiries into your business workflows.
It is an effective way of leapfrogging legacy platforms and technologies that not only drives efficiency and cost savings for our clients, but also significantly enhances the customer experience.
DBS offers nearly 180 types of highly-modular APIs that can be combined to suit varying client needs.
We have worked with many clients to co-create API-driven solutions that give them a competitive edge.
