DCS Card Centre Fuels Expansion With S$300 Million Asset-Backed Notes

Singaporean fintech DCS Card Centre (DCS) announced that it has raised S$300 million through an upsized issuance of asset-backed notes as part of the company’s strategy to bolster its growth.

The newly issued notes, secured by credit card receivables, marks DCS’s ongoing efforts to expand and innovate within the consumer credit and payment solutions market in Singapore.

The issuance received support from DBS Bank and several seasoned investors, including First Plus Asset Management, a Singapore-based investment manager with a focus on APAC structured credit and equities.

DCS, recently rebranded from Diners Club Singapore, has been actively diversifying its product offerings to cater to a broader range of customer needs and emerging market trends.

This includes the expansion of its credit card issuance, partnering with major players like Mastercard, UnionPay, and an upcoming collaboration with Visa.

Furthermore, DCS had introduced DCS Tokens, a payment token designed to bridge traditional and Web 3.0 payment ecosystems.
