What Happens when Belongings get Lost

Sometimes things just get missing. You may just lose your wallet which contains valuable cards within it. Usually you wouldn't see your wallet again. It could be a depressing, frustrating, numbing experience. I know since I just lost mine... and I decided to share my post-trauma experience.

What to do when you lost your DBS Debit Card?

Call 1800-111-1111 immediately to request for a block on your card. This is important because with the debit card, the lucky person that picked up yours would be able to do online purchase, even worse, forge your signature if you have one at the back of your card.

The DBS helpdesk staff was very helpful and understanding.
