DBS offers SMEs up to S$300,000 financing with DBS Quick Finance

Customers can choose between an overdraft or a loan.

DBS has launched DBS Quick Finance, an AI-driven working capital solution to extend working capital and cashflow support.

The bank will reach out to customers through the DBS IDEAL platform to offer instant financing of up to S$300,000, according to a press release.

Gene Wong, Singapore head of SME Banking (micro & small segment), noted that Singapore SMEs may be beset with financial difficulties after a back-to-back whammy of lingering pandemic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, a GST hike, supply chain headwinds and geopolitical tensions.

“DBS aims to double down on our support for micro and small enterprises by tapping on our digital capabilities and advanced data analytics to pinpoint potential financial needs with greater precision, and reach out proactively before their needs become too overwhelming or urgent,” Wong said.

Customers can choose between an overdraft which can be drawn down when needed or a working capital loan which will be serviced every month.

Customers can also enjoy an application process as fast as just one minute with the use of artificial intelligence and data analytics, DBS added.

In addition, SME customers can apply for working capital loans simply by sharing their day-to-day accounting transactional records direct from Xero’s platform with DBS for credit assessment purposes.

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.
