How To Block Dbs Credit Card |
1. The Speedy Smartphone Savior:
- DBS digibank app: Dive into the app's depths, navigate to your card's sanctuary, and tap the glorious "Block Card" button. It's like waving a magic wand (minus the glitter).
- DBS Card+ app: Similar to the digibank app, just hunt down the "Report Lost/Stolen" option and bid farewell to unauthorized spending.
2. Ringing Up the Cavalry (Customer Care):
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.![]()

3. Branching Out (Visiting a DBS Branch):
- Head to your nearest DBS branch, armed with your ID and a smile (optional, but hey, it can't hurt!). The ever-helpful bank staff will sort you right out.
Remember, the Block Button is Your Best Friend:

The sooner you block your card, the less likely you are to be a victim of fraud. So, don't delay, hit that block button like it owes you money (which, in a way, it kinda does... but in a good way... okay, we'll move on).
