DBS and POSB digital banking services were restored this afternoon on 19 March 2026 after some customers faced difficulties accessing certain digital services earlier in the day.

The bank said its digibank mobile and online services, along with DBS PayLah!, had returned to normal as of 1:19pm.

Earlier, the bank said it was working to fully recover services.

During the disruption, DBS said customers could still make payments using DBS and POSB cards, check account balances through DBS and POSB ATMs and digiBot, and withdraw cash from DBS and POSB ATMs as well as POSB Cash-Points.

Wealth clients were also told to contact their Relationship Manager to place trades. The bank said customers’ monies and deposits remained safe.

The latest disruption follows earlier service issues at DBS.

In June 2025, DBS and POSB customers again reported problems accessing mobile banking services, marking the second such outage for the bank that year.

Another disruption affected digital banking and ATM services in Singapore in March 2025.

Those earlier outages had already drawn regulatory action from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

In May 2023, MAS raised DBS’ additional capital requirement for operational risk to 1.8 times its risk-weighted assets for that category.

In November 2023, MAS also imposed a six-month pause on the bank’s non-essential IT changes and new business acquisitions to keep it focused on improving the resilience of its digital banking services.

The restriction was lifted at the end of April 2024, though the additional capital requirement remained in place.
