Our suite of DBS MAX solutions are designed to cater to your business needs. For example, DBS MAX Mobile App is recommended for small businesses that need to collect from consumers over the counter; Client Integration leverages API-connectivity to embed the collection and refund capabilities into your business platforms and workflow; B2B is suitable for distributors that collect from retailers on the go. For API-connectivity, a one-time technical integration set up is required, and integration timeline is subject to your IT resources’ availability.

How does the use of APIs in DBS MAX help in your collection and reconciliation process?

DBS MAX Client Integration and DBS MAX B2B leverage DBS RAPID (Real-time APIs with DBS) to enhance collection, refund and reconciliation capabilities.

You may also perform refunds, check on total amount of funds collected and view transaction status.

In the MAX B2B solution, APIs enable you to generate a single QR code for collection of multiple invoices, as well as provide immediate notification when funds are received successfully. The reconciliation report will also be enriched with itemised invoice details for easy reconciliation.

How will my earnings be credited to my bank account?

Your earnings will be credited automatically to your linked DBS bank account. Alternatively, you may manually transfer funds up to your account based as per your DBS MAX solution set up.
