Yes. If your My Account is linked as the primary account to your DBS Visa Debit Card, foreign currency purchases made online and overseas will automatically be debited from your account’s respective foreign currency funds without any foreign exchange conversion fees. This also applies to overseas ATM withdrawals.

Note: The respective Multi-Currency Account (MCA) foreign currency wallet must contain sufficient funds prior to making a transaction. Only then will your transaction be automatically debited from the respective foreign currency wallet without any foreign exchange conversion fees. Please ensure that your DBS Visa Debit Card is primary linked to your MCA and the correct currency is selected at point of transaction. Please also note that in some cases, depending on how the merchant processes your transaction, your transaction may be billed to you in another foreign currency other than the local currency.

Generally, overseas ATM withdrawals will be automatically deducted from your primary account. However, if prompted, please select "Checking/Current Account" to withdraw foreign currency cash overseas from your My Account using your linked DBS Visa Debit Card.

Please ensure you have sufficient foreign currency funds in your account prior to withdrawal. Otherwise, the foreign currency cash withdrawal will be deducted from your SGD wallet.
