Bengaluru, 09^th July 2025 – DBS Bank India Limited (DBIL) has waived prepayment and foreclosure charges for all Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) borrowers registered with UDYAM, making it easier for businesses to access credit and manage cash flow. Announced on MSME Day, this move reflects the bank’s continued commitment to supporting India’s MSMEs. The waiver is effective going forward and applies to both new and existing active borrowers.

This proactive step aims to enhance borrower flexibility and aligns with regulatory guidance focused on improving transparency in lending. It also addresses a persistent challenge faced by many MSMEs—where foreclosure charges have often deterred early repayment or refinancing, restricting their ability to optimise cash flow management.

Commenting on the development, Sudarshan Chari, Managing Director, and Head – SME Banking, DBS Bank India, said, “Access to flexible and affordable credit remains a critical need for micro, small and medium enterprises. By waiving prepayment and foreclosure charges, we are addressing a common challenge that often limits financial agility. This change enables businesses to repay loans early without penalty and reallocate funds towards immediate priorities or critical areas like inventory, technology, and expansion. It aligns with our broader efforts to support MSMEs with need-based solutions that strengthen their resilience and unlock long-term growth.”

DBS Bank India is committed to empowering enterprises across the value chain, supporting their growth at every stage. Its SME banking proposition offers a robust suite of solutions tailored to meet the diverse requirements of entrepreneurs, combining innovative offerings with deep regional expertise.

With its online account opening feature, entrepreneurs can set up current accounts quickly and seamlessly, eliminating the need for cumbersome paperwork.

Bengaluru, 30 September 2024 – DBS Bank India, in collaboration with CRISIL, has unveiled the third report in its ‘Women and Finance’ series. Based on a survey of 400 self-employed women across 10 major Indian cities, the report reveals unique insights into their circumstances and experiences as entrepreneurs.

It examines their sources of business funding, banking habits, digital payment preferences, workforce dynamics, and adoption of sustainability measures within their businesses. Additionally, the report delves into challenges such as perceptions of gender bias and analyses how factors like age, income level, and geographical location shape their decisions. It identifies critical areas where women entrepreneurs seek support and opportunities for business enablement.

Sources of Business Funding:

65% of self-employed women in Indian metros have not taken a business loan, with 39% relying on personal savings to fund their enterprises. Among those who have obtained loans, bank loans were the primary choice, preferred by 21%. Women entrepreneurs often use personal assets for collateral, with 28% leveraging personal property and 25% turning to gold—reflecting their risk-averse approach to investments. 64% of respondents who use gold as collateral predominantly invest in safer options like savings accounts and gold.

Awareness of government schemes:

The survey revealed a significant awareness gap regarding government schemes, with 24% of respondents indicating they were unaware of available options. Additionally, 34% stated they had not utilised any government scheme for their businesses. To bridge this gap, the DBS Foundation has launched a robust training program in partnership with Haqdarshak to boost financial literacy and empower women to access government entitlements and financial services. The program targets 200,000 marginalised beneficiaries, with women comprising 80% of the participants.

Banking products:

39% of women entrepreneurs use cash credit (CC) and overdraft (OD) facilities, followed by corporate credit cards (25%) and property-backed term loans (11%). 39% of respondents cited competitive interest rates and flexible repayment terms as key factors influencing their choice of bank for loans.

Support beyond financial assistance: 

Beyond financial support from banks, women entrepreneurs expressed a desire for mentorship (26%), support in navigating government schemes (18%), and assistance in digitalising financial processes (15%). In terms of business enablement, 18% were interested in women-based communities, and 13% sought access to industry-specific financial data and benchmarks.

Commenting on the report, Divyesh Dalal, Managing Director & Head – Global Transaction Services, SME and Institutional Liabilities, DBS Bank India, said, “The insights from our latest ‘Women and Finance’ report highlight key areas where we can make an impact. We see opportunities to boost awareness and adoption of government entitlements through education and training. Additionally, it underscores the need to build entrepreneurial ecosystems with networking platforms and communities that foster collaboration, mentorship, skill-building, and knowledge exchange to accelerate growth for women in business. DBS Bank India goes beyond traditional banking to support entrepreneurs and be a trusted partner for SMEs and startups. We will continue working with partners like CRISIL to better understand and empower women in their entrepreneurial journeys, backed by data-driven insights.”

The bank has leveraged insights from the report to design a customised proposition for women entrepreneurs, working closely with its ecosystem partners. Through its partnership with Zaggle, DBS Bank India will offer exclusive benefits, such as discounts on Zaggle EMS, a tool that streamlines expense management. Women entrepreneurs will also receive a reduction in card issuance fees and service charges for Zaggle’s payment and tax solutions will be waived off. Additionally, through its partnership with FundEnable, the bank will organise capacity-building activities, including a knowledge series and bootcamps on fundraising, market strategies, and pitch enhancement. The bank has also partnered with India Accelerator, a fund-led startup accelerator from Gurgaon to curate special offers on co-working spaces and accelerator programs for women entrepreneurs.

Trends in digital payments:

UPI has played a pivotal role in digitising India’s financial transactions. According to the Reserve Bank of India, the share of UPI in digital payments reached close to 80% in fiscal 2024. UPI leads in the payment of business expenses, followed by mobile banking.

Pushan Sharma, Director-Research, CRISIL Market Intelligence & Analytics, said, “73% of self-employed women surveyed preferred receiving payments from customers digitally, and 87% used digital methods to pay their business expenses. UPI is the most-used mode for both receiving (35%) and paying (26%) business expenses. However, cash remains indispensable for payroll and operational expenses, used by 36% of respondents.”

Adopting sustainable business practices: 

The insights underscore a growing trend toward sustainability. 52% of self-employed women in Indian metros have implemented sustainability policies in their businesses, while 14% have approached a bank for sustainability-linked finance. Encouragingly, 76% have implemented sustainable business practices, such as energy conservation, incorporating female representation on their boards, and waste reduction and recycling measures. 26% of respondents prioritise energy conservation efforts, while 24% focus on waste reduction and recycling. Additionally, 26% of self-employed women have female members serving on their boards, reflecting their commitment to gender diversity and inclusion. 13% have adopted practices related to water conservation and rainwater harvesting.

DBS Bank India aims to support holistic financial management for women, guided by insights from the Women and Finance study. This underscores how DBS embodies being a different kind of bank, enabling customers to ‘Live More, Bank Less’ in line with its brand promise.  The first report released in January 2024 focused on savings, investment patterns, and behaviors among salaried and self-employed women in urban India. The second report, launched in March 2024, explored career progression, workplace policy preferences, and challenges faced by women in the workforce.

Bengaluru, 4 September 2024: Onsurity has partnered with DBS Bank India to offer CyberSure, a comprehensive cyber protection plan tailored for owners of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across India.

Data from the National Crime Records Bureau[i] revealed that in 2023 alone, Indians suffered losses exceeding ₹7,488 crore due to cyber fraud. SMEs often lack the resources and expertise to implement robust digital protection measures, making them particularly vulnerable to cyber threats. To address this, CyberSure offers a suite of value-added benefits, with a sum insured of INR 10,000 per customer. DBS Bank India will cover the cost of the first month for 10,000 eligible SME owners. After the initial free month, users can continue with the plan through an affordable monthly subscription.

Key features of the plan include: 

• Comprehensive insurance coverage for digital theft, available through a convenient monthly subscription plan for all users.
• 24/7 dark web monitoring to safeguard users’ identities by scanning the dark web for signs of their private credentials being exposed in a data breach. If any credentials are found, CyberSure will promptly alert the user and provide clear instructions on how to protect their identity.
• Engaging edutainment modules with videos and interactive content in regional languages to enhance cybersecurity awareness. These modules cover topics such as personal information protection, social engineering, phishing, and password safety, making cybersecurity an integral and effortless part of users’ daily lives.
• A thorough digital health check that offers users a quick evaluation of their digital well-being and a digital health score.

Speaking about the partnership, Kulin Shah, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Onsurity, said, “SME business owners often juggle multiple responsibilities, but cyber safety demands specialised attention, especially given the sophisticated threats we face today. Our monthly subscription-based model offers SME owners peace of mind, allowing them to focus on growing their business while we handle their cyber protection. With DBS Bank India’s strong presence in the SME sector, we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to bring this essential product to market.”

Sudarshan Chari, Managing Director & Head – SME Banking, DBS Bank India, said, “As cyber threats become more complex, SMEs need robust and accessible protection to secure their operations and data. CyberSure provides an additional layer of security, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on what matters most: growing their businesses. This aligns seamlessly with our brand promise of ‘live more, bank less.’ Onsurity’s expertise in providing tailored tech solutions complements our efforts, further empowering SMEs. We will continue to leverage our strong ecosystem partnerships to deliver solutions that go beyond traditional banking and address the unique challenges faced by SMEs.”

The companies formalised this partnership by signing a Memorandum of Understanding at the recently concluded Global Fintech Festival, one of the largest fintech conferences in the world organised annually by the Payments Council of India (PCI), the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), and the Fintech Convergence Council (FCC).

Bengaluru, 2 September 2024: DBS Bank India has launched its new brand campaign, “Trust Your Spark,” marking a significant milestone: 30 years of being a trusted partner to its customers in India. The campaign celebrates the belief that within each individual lies a unique spark, a driving force that empowers them to pursue their dreams and aspirations courageously.

To bring this message to life, DBS Bank India is showcasing real-life stories of customers, employees, and purpose-driven businesses, such as Haqdarshak, backed by the DBS Foundation. The stories highlight the journeys of people who found the courage to overcome challenges and achieve success because they believed in themselves, with DBS supporting them as a banking partner. This aligns with the bank’s brand promise to “Live More, Bank Less.” The campaign has been launched with outdoor advertisements across 20 cities in India, complemented by engaging content on social media channels and DBS Bank India’s internal platforms.

Commenting on the campaign, Azmat Habibulla, Managing Director and Head of Group Strategic Marketing & Communications, DBS Bank India, said, “Our ‘Trust Your Spark’ campaign aims to inspire people to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams, knowing they have a trusted partner like DBS in their corner. We celebrate stories of those who believe in themselves and their vision, making a positive impact. As we mark our 30th year in India and 10 years of the DBS Foundation, we are proud to support the growth of our customers across the country.”

As a different kind of bank, DBS continues to break boundaries. Its campaigns have been seen as category-defying in the industry. To commemorate its 30th anniversary in India, the bank has launched the “India-Singapore Connect” initiative in association with CNBC-TV18. This initiative will bring together leaders from various fields, including government, business, and academia, to foster discussions around trade, investment, innovation, technology, sustainable development, and cross-cultural interests.

Earlier this year, DBS Bank India sponsored a documentary titled “Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: A Singapore Saga,” which celebrates the legacy of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and highlights his role in spearheading the Azad Hind movement from Singapore. DBS Bank India was also the exclusive banking partner for ‘Srikanth,’ a biopic about the inspiring journey of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired Indian industrialist, which embodies the message of ‘Trust Your Spark.’ Additionally, the bank supports young badminton stars like Lakshya Sen, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty, Treesa Jolly, and Gayatri Gopichand, who have the potential to be the stars of tomorrow.

DBS introduced an industry-first online mini-series called “DBS Sparks,” inspired by true stories. The series follows a group of young bankers as they navigate their work and personal lives, showcasing how they challenge the status quo, go above and beyond to solve their clients’ challenges, and genuinely make an impact. It highlights how they support DBS in its quest to be the best bank for a better world.

DBS has been accorded the “Safest Bank in Asia” award by Global Finance[i] for 15 consecutive years, from 2009 to 2023. It occupies a unique position in India, combining strong global expertise with a deep local understanding. The bank continues to leverage its extensive physical network and digital capabilities to provide solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers, fostering trust and building lasting relationships.

Bengaluru, 01 July, 2024 – DBS Bank India has announced its partnership with Receivables Exchange of India Limited (RXIL), the first RBI-licensed exchange platform under the Trade Receivables electronic Discounting System (TReDS). While the bank already offers post-shipment financing on the TReDS platform, it is now launching a pre-shipment financing solution that will empower Indian SMEs with an additional way of availing trade finance in a credit-light manner. By using alternative trade lending data from RXIL to build better borrower profiles, the bank will be able to support the supplier’s entire trade cycle, from sourcing raw materials to delivering the end product to the customer. This offering will be particularly relevant for MSMEs and SMEs across India, enabling them to enhance cash flows to fulfill orders even before goods are delivered to buyers.

MSMEs contributed 45.56% of total exports from April-September ‘23 as per the Ministry of External Affairs report[1]. Despite their sizeable share in trade flows, MSMEs often face challenges establishing favourable payment and credit terms with buyers, managing outflows, and obtaining the documentation required by formal lenders. With the new DBS solution, MSMEs on TReDS will now be empowered through a transparent, simplified process to secure funding against purchase orders from buyers, thereby streamlining cash flows.

Divyesh Dalal, Managing Director & Head – Global Transaction Services, SME & Institutional Liability Business, DBS Bank India, said, “The collaboration with RXIL underscores our commitment to supporting the MSME sector and broadening their access to finance. The structure enables us to significantly reduce the time required for credit decisioning and linked documentation, which will greatly benefit time-strapped business owners. DBS Bank India will be the first bank to partner with RXIL to offer end-to-end supplier financing by harnessing platform data to perform credit assessment and sanction limits. The partnership leverages our digital capabilities to facilitate working capital financing for MSME suppliers by helping them unlock value in their operating flows.”

Ketan Gaikwad, Managing Director & CEO of RXIL, said, “RXIL is at the forefront of driving change in the landscape of trade finance. This collaboration holds immense potential in revolutionising pre-shipment financing for MSMEs through a trusted partner like DBS Bank India. Our shared vision entails leveraging a data-driven approach to assist MSMEs in streamlining operations, enhancing liquidity, and facilitating their trade journey as they expand their business. Additionally, this collaboration promises to alleviate the working capital challenges faced by MSMEs, offering tailored solutions to enhance their financial stability and propel their growth trajectory. By leveraging innovative financing mechanisms, we aim to empower MSMEs with the resources they need to thrive in today’s dynamic trade landscape.”

Mumbai, 09 May, 2024 – In a continued effort to foster an inclusive workplace, DBS Bank India announced a program aimed at women who are transitioning back into the workspace, including new mothers. This initiative is part of DBS’s ongoing focus, as part of its responsible business practices, to develop a more diverse workforce and support employees through different life stages. By providing equitable career opportunities and empowering employees to grow to their fullest potential, DBS Bank India aims to attract the best people, build the best teams and deliver the best customer experience.

Individuals who re-enter the workplace after a career break may find it difficult getting back to the demands of corporate life, particularly given the pace at which technology and the workplace are evolving. In addition to this, women particularly, could also face challenges with unconscious bias or balancing work-life demands. Recognising this, DBS Bank India has developed a special six-month internship program wherein shortlisted returnees will engage in projects, receive guidance from seasoned industry leaders within a supportive environment, aimed at enabling a smoother transition back to work. The DBS program involves valuable hands-on experience in a workplace that has been honoured by Avtar and Seramount as one of the ‘100 Best Companies for Women in India’ for eight consecutive years. This recognition marked the third consecutive feature in the ‘100 Best – Hall of Fame’ category. The bank’s ‘Reimagine’ program also supports the participants with suitable training programs during the returnship journey so that they can develop their skills for continued success.

Kishore Poduri, Managing Director, and Country Head – HR, DBS Bank India, said, “A diverse talent pool and a well-supported workforce is a foundational reason why DBS prides itself on being a future-ready bank. We have introduced this six-month internship for women returning to work in a very intentional way so that we can build a pipeline of skilled talent, while helping employees grow their careers in the long-term. While this is one more step in our journey, some of our earlier programs have already shown promising results. For instance, in 2023, the overall engagement score for women in DBS Bank India has increased by 13% compared to the previous year. These are signs that our efforts are paying off as we continue to focus on creating an environment where all employees are supported to thrive professionally and live fulfilled.”

DBS prides itself on being a different kind of bank, shaping its organisational culture so that employees are motivated to make banking joyful. The organisation strives to be a forerunner in the employee benefits space, by taking a hyper-personalised approach to cater to the evolving needs of a diverse workforce. Effective this year, DBS Bank India has extended its paternity and adoption leave for new fathers from 2 weeks to 4 weeks, in an effort to advance parity and enable a more balanced sharing of parental responsibilities. The benefit gives new fathers the time to participate more actively in the crucial early stages of parenthood, supporting a more equitable distribution of parental duties so that both partners can enjoy this formative time as a family.

Underlining the efficacy of the bank’s earlier diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, DBS has been featured on prestigious rankings such as the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for six consecutive years (2018-2023) and has been included in Kelp HR’s ‘25 Safest Workplaces for Women’ list for three consecutive years. In 2023, DBS Bank India was awarded ‘Best Employer for Women’ by ASSOCHAM at the Diversity & Inclusion Excellence Awards. Recently, the organisation was also recognised as a ‘Best Employer’ by Kincentric for the fourth consecutive time, marking its entry into the coveted ‘Best Employers’ Club 2024.

Mumbai, August 22, 2023 – In a move that underscores DBS Bank India’s commitment to the country, the bank has announced its partnership with five exceptional badminton stars – Lakshya Sen, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, Chirag Shetty, Treesa Jolly, and Gayatri Gopichand.

DBS Bank has been a part of India’s journey since 1994, and it is the largest foreign bank in the country by branch presence. The partnership enables the bank to enhance its brand presence within the country and effectively connect with its diverse audience. The sport of badminton embodies attributes such as precision, dedication, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence, closely aligned with DBS Bank’s core values of being purpose-driven, relationship-led, and innovative.

The partnership has kicked-off with an outdoor campaign, and it will be extended to the bank’s social media platforms, official website, internal platforms, as well as throughout its branch network, targeting both customers and employees.

Commenting on the partnership, Shoma Narayanan, Managing Director – Group Strategic Marketing & Communications at DBS Bank India, said, “DBS Bank continues to break boundaries and reimagine banking; we like to think of ourselves as a different kind of bank, rather than fitting into the conventional notions of a ‘traditional bank’. Badminton is gaining popularity across India, and this partnership provides a great opportunity for us to extend our support to five young athletes who truly have the potential to be the stars of tomorrow!

These players epitomise our core values both on and off the court, making them perfect partners to champion our brand. With this association, we aim to dial up customer engagement in India and bolster the narrative around our unique phy-gital proposition, suite of offerings, and strong Asian connectivity.”

Ramakrishnan R, Co-Founder and Director, Baseline Ventures added, “DBS Bank has always been a trusted partner, for small and large businesses as well as retail customers. We are excited to help the bank onboard some of India’s most prominent badminton stars as it increases engagement with its customers in India. We are confident that with DBS Bank India’s support, these players will elevate their careers and reach even greater heights, while serving as an inspiration for badminton enthusiasts.”

The five young and promising badminton stars have consistently climbed the global rankings, carving a niche for themselves on the international stage. Former world junior number one, Lakshya Sen, has clinched titles in various tournaments and earned a top-10 spot in senior rankings, with recent wins including the Canada Open and notable performances at the US Open, Japan Open, and the 2021 World Championships.

India’s men’s doubles duo, Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, have reached World No. 2 in Badminton World Federation (BWF) rankings. They won three BWF World Tour titles this year, including the Indonesia Open 2023 (Super 1000), Korea Open 2023 (Super 500), and Swiss Open 2023 (Super 300). India’s young women’s doubles sensation, Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly, made their mark at the All-England Championship 2022 by reaching the semi-finals in their debut season and repeating the feat in 2023. They clinched medals at the Commonwealth Games and played a pivotal role in winning India’s first-ever medal at the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships 2023.

DBS Bank continues to break boundaries, and its campaigns have been seen as category-defying in the banking industry. For example, the bank introduced an industry-first online mini-series called “DBS Sparks,” which is inspired by true stories and follows a group of young bankers as they navigate their work and personal lives. It showcases how these bankers challenge the status quo, go above and beyond to solve their clients’ challenges, and genuinely make an impact in DBS’ quest to be the best bank for a better world.

In 2018, DBS Bank introduced its brand promise, “Live more, Bank less.” This year, the bank launched a clutter-breaking campaign to further strengthen this promise, while showcasing how it brings simplicity and seamlessness to banking. The campaign encapsulates how DBS Bank empowers customers to dedicate more time to cherish their dreams, pursue their passions, and nurture their relationships.
