Mobile Wallet Security Feature

What is this new Mobile Wallet security feature?

This new feature adds extra security for your DBS/POSB cards in Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay. You now need to activate the "Mobile Wallets" toggle in the digibank app (under Payment Controls) before adding your cards.

Why is this feature being introduced?

This feature protects you from mobile wallet phishing scams, where fraudsters try to add stolen card details to their own mobile wallets. Enabling this feature in your digibank app adds a verification step, confirming your intent and preventing unauthorised additions.

How does this feature work?

When you attempt to add your DBS/POSB card to a mobile wallet, you'll receive a notification prompting you to enable the “Mobile Wallets” toggle in the Payment Controls section of your digibank app (this toggle is off by default). After enabling it, you'll receive an OTP via SMS to complete the addition. The “Mobile Wallets” toggle will automatically turn off after 10 minutes, so please complete the process within this timeframe.

On your device, please remember to allow notifications from digibank app to receive push notifications:

Go to Settings on your mobile device
Select Notifications
Select digibank app
Tap Allow Notifications

Is this applicable to all contactless payments?

No. This feature only applies to adding your DBS/POSB cards to mobile wallets. Contactless payments made by tapping your physical card are not affected.

What if I already have my DBS/POSB card in a mobile wallet?

Your existing cards in mobile wallets will continue to work as normal. However, if you want to add your card to a new mobile wallet, you’ll need to enable the "Mobile Wallets" toggle first.

What is the 10-minute time limit for?

The 10-minute window provides ample time for you to add your card to the mobile wallet while enhancing security. It automatically deactivates the "Mobile Wallets" toggle after 10 minutes, preventing unauthorised access if you don't complete the card addition process.

What if I don't want to use mobile wallets?

This feature applies to adding cards to mobile wallets. You can continue using your physical card for contactless payments without enabling this feature.

Where can I find the Payment Controls in the digibank app?

You can find Payment Controls within the DBS/POSB digibank app – After logging in to digibank, go to More > Manage Cards & Loans > Payment Controls

What if I don’t have the digibank app?

You will need to download and install the DBS/POSB digibank app to access and manage this feature. You can find it on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Huawei AppGallery. You’ll need to register for digibank if you haven't already.
