DBS launches instant e-payment service for travel insurance

It is in collaboration with MSIG.

MSIG Insurance and DBS Bank have announced the launch of Singapore’s first instant electronic payment service for travel insurance claims. The new initiative will reduce the time a travel claim is settled by approximately four days.

DBS/POSB account holders who have bought MSIG’s travel insurance plans through the DBS website and have signed up for a member login account with MSIG’s customer portal will be able to benefit from this real-time claims payment service.

This instant electronic payment service rides on DBS’ new API named DBS IDEAL RAPID. MSIG is the first company in Singapore to deploy this new service. The general insurer offers a wide spectrum of insurance solutions to DBS customers and around one out of two MSIG policies distributed through DBS were bought online last year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
