DBS hits fintech firms with large fee hikes for custodian service DBS will increase the fees it charges fintech firms to hold customer funds under its custodian services, a move that means higher costs for fintech companies operating payment services in Singapore. The fee adjustment, which will take effect in April, applies to a product called virtual accounts. Under Singapore&rsquo s Payments Services Act, major payment institutions or payment service providers that handle customer funds must hold those funds in segregated bank accounts for safeguarding. Firms that deal with a large amount of incoming funds or receive payments from many parties may assign unique virtual account numbers to each customer. Now, firms pay DBS a flat annual fee ranging from between four digits to around S$10,000 for the service. The fee includes the use of an unlimited number of dynamic virtual accounts. From April onwards, these businesses will be charged S$1 per month per customer account, according to one industry source. As a result, firms serving more users &ndash and therefore require more virtual customer accounts &ndash have to cover higher fees. A firm requiring 10,000 customer accounts, for instance, will now be forking out S$10,000 a month, or S$120,000 a year. Affected companies were notified about the change in October. Some firms have ceased to offer certain services and offboarded customers to manage the growing costs, Tech in Asia understands. According to sources, DBS explained to affected customers that the price increase was due to the rising costs of maintaining the accounts, performing know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) checks, as well as transaction monitoring. Previously, payments firms could ascribe unique virtual account numbers to individual customers themselves (dynamic accounts). Starting April, DBS will take over the creation of individual virtual customer accounts (static accounts). The migration of &ldquo some fintech platforms from dynamic to static virtual accounts that embed additional controls and screening of end customers and corporates&rdquo is one of several steps the bank is taking to improve consumer protection, a DBS spokesperson tells Tech in Asia. &ldquo As fintech adoption grows, some fund flows via these virtual accounts have become more complex. This presents a growing risk of scams and fraud which needs to be better risk managed,&rdquo the person adds. It&rsquo s unclear how many firms are affected by the changes, though Tech in Asia understands that at least two firms will face higher fees as a result. &ldquo As we seek to balance risk and pricing, any pricing changes reflect the costs of additional risk controls and processes and may vary from client to client,&rdquo the DBS spokesperson says. They add that the bank is supporting clients on their migration from dynamic to static virtual accounts. Following suit An industry player, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, notes how the fee increase moves Singapore &ldquo away from international standards rather than towards them.&rdquo The move also raises a barrier on local and foreign fintech firms looking to scale in Singapore, which touts itself as a financial hub. It&rsquo s unclear if other banks will follow suit and raise prices. Asked if OCBC has plans to raise fees on virtual accounts, a bank spokesperson says its virtual account fees vary depending on factors such as transaction volumes and the degree of customisation needed. Tech in Asia reached out to UOB for comment but did not receive a response by press time. At US$0.79 per customer account, DBS&rsquo revised fees are several times higher than what banks in other countries like the UK, the European Union or Indonesia are charging for equivalent services, according to the industry player. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has been stepping up KYC and AML efforts. In 2024, Singapore announced a national AML strategy outlining steps to combat money laundering amid &ldquo rapidly changing risks and criminal typologies.&rdquo However, a spokesperson from the central bank said that fees charged are commercial decisions made by banks. &ldquo MAS has not recently issued new regulatory changes to impose more stringent KYC, AML, and transaction monitoring controls on entities using banks&rsquo custodian services,&rdquo the spokesperson said. |

DBS partners Granite Asia to provide capital, financing for high-growth companies in Asia Collaboration opens up investment opportunities for DBS wealth clients [SINGAPORE] DBS is partnering a multi-asset investment platform to develop innovative investment and financing solutions, targeted at providing capital and support for high-growth Asian companies. The partnership with Granite Asia &ndash formerly known as GGV Capital Asia &ndash kicked off with the closing of a US$110 million artificial intelligence-focused initial public offering (IPO) fund, which was subscribed for exclusively by DBS wealth clients. It drew broad-based interest from investors across South-east Asia, South Asia and Europe. The fund is the first in a series under the partnership formalised through a memorandum of understanding. Under the deal, Granite Asia will develop new funds for DBS clients and offer co-investment opportunities. In the pipeline is a private capital product designed to accelerate tech-enabled transformation across Asian businesses through non-dilutive capital, enabling wealth clients to invest in opportunities typically available only to institutional investors. On its part, DBS will leverage its corporate and investment banking capabilities to support Granite Asia&rsquo s fund and portfolio companies in every stage of their life cycle. This includes an end-to-end solution spanning subscription financing and corporate loans, advisory for mergers and acquisitions mandates, support for bond issuance and preparation for an IPO. Singapore-based Granite Asia specialises in equity and credit solutions designed to drive long-term impact, providing support from early-stage equity to late-stage financing. It manages around US$10 billion in assets and co-managed capital. In the last six months alone, the company has achieved five listings, and 10 additional IPO filings among its portfolio companies. Granite has invested in 127 companies valued at over US$1 billion and supported 65 IPOs worldwide. It has consistently delivered a 30 per cent internal rate of return over the past 20 years. Unicorns in its portfolio include Grab, Xiaohongshu, Thunes and XPeng. DBS chief executive Tan Su Shan on Monday (Feb 23) said the partnership with an asset manager is the first of its kind for the bank, and reflects its commitment to power Asia&rsquo s next generation of global leaders. It is also a &ldquo clear expression of our &lsquo One Bank&rsquo approach&rdquo , she added, bringing together the wealth, institutional banking and global financial markets teams to serve clients across their life cycle. &ldquo By combining DBS&rsquo capabilities with Granite Asia&rsquo s deep founder relationships and track record in backing innovative Asian champions, we can bring differentiated investment opportunities to our clients and create new pathways for ambitious founders to expand internationally. &ldquo With capital flows into Asia set to rise over the coming years, this initiative also catalyses a vibrant funding ecosystem at a time when listings are returning to Asia&rsquo s equity markets.&rdquo Since 2015, more than 13,000 AI-driven companies have been founded in Asia, and many are seeking capital for expansion. Jenny Lee, Granite Asia senior managing partner, said the firm brings a &ldquo unique investment lens&rdquo focused on technology and transformation, while DBS contributes banking and capital markets expertise, and regional networks. The collaboration is also a first for the company. She added: &ldquo Together, we aim to support founders and companies as they scale across borders and mature into enduring global leaders.&rdquo Foo Jixun, senior managing partner of Granite Asia, said: &ldquo Over more than two decades, (we have) partnered closely with founders building category-defining companies across Asia. Our strength lies in a deeply connected founder and operator network that spans the journey from private markets to IPO. &ldquo Working alongside DBS allows us to extend that platform as capital markets momentum returns and growth capital becomes more accessible across the region.&rdquo |

Saw a few people wanted to buy under $40 or even $28 or lower. This is only possible if Singapore is a war, pandemic, financial crisis. Until then, DBS is heading to $100. The recent budget announcement of $150m pump into SG equitites market will huat DBS. |

DBS, BofA and UOB retain &lsquo buy&rsquo on Singtel as 3QFY2026 tops expectations Singtel&rsquo s 3QFY2026 results exceeded expectations, driven by strong performance from Optus and regional associates. Despite a decline in Singapore mobile revenue, analysts maintain a &ldquo buy&rdquo rating on Singtel, citing potential for ARPU improvement and value realisation from data centres and NCS. |

DBS closed at S$57.06 on February 13, 2026, exactly at the queried support, raising moderate likelihood (~30-40%) of further headwinds pushing below amid testing technicals. DBS Downside RiskDaily chart shows close at S$57.06 (low 56.80), testing January support ~S$57.25-57.40 and Bollinger lower band, with RSI ~57 (neutral), MACD crossover negative&mdash signaling pullback potential to next volume support ~S$44-50 if breached. Headwinds like NIM squeeze from rate cuts, valuation at 2.2x BV, and 2026 export slowdowns heighten risk, though hedging and buy signals from MAs limit high probability short-term. Long-Term HoldingHolders enjoy ~5% yield (S$2.64/share quarterly, TTM) plus 130%+ 5-year gains, suiting Singapore retirees with DBS' s ROE leadership over STI ETF. Superior Trading MethodsThese active methods can outpace buy-hold by 2-5% annualized via timing/diversification, per backtests on STI banks (higher risk).
