FAQs
What information do I need to send an OTT?

To ensure that your application is processed efficiently, please provide the following:

  • Your name, address and debit account number
  • Payment currency and amount
  • Beneficiary name
  • Beneficiary's account number or IBAN for payments to Europe and the UAE
  • Beneficiary bank’s SWIFT code (BIC code)
  • Beneficiary bank's name and address
  • Details of the intermediary bank, if available
How fast will my payment be sent off?

Send your payment instructions before the cut-off time to have it processed on the same day. The beneficiary bank will need to process the payment received and times may vary.

If you transfer funds from a DBS account from Taiwan to a DBS account within DBS network, the payment will be credited within 3 hours.

When will my beneficiary receive payment?

The beneficiary should receive the funds within 1 to 4 days. This may vary depending on the country or bank to which you are sending money.

Can DBS check if my beneficiary has received the payment?

Yes, we can send an enquiry to the overseas bank to check if the payment has been made. There is a service charge for this.

How do I ensure my beneficiary receives the full amount?

Select “Pay in Full” during application. This will ensure all processing fees are charged to your account. Some payments may not be credited in full as the beneficiary bank may levy a charge for the receipt of funds.
