The UOB Business Debit Card³ can be used for contactless payments globally, wherever the Mastercard logo is displayed. You’ll receive 0.5% cashback on local spend and 1% on overseas spend, along with other UOB privileges and rewards such as airport lounge access and complimentary travel insurance.
If your card is linked to the UOB Corporate Current Account, you are required to maintain a minimum average daily balance of 10,000 SGD.

The SC Business Debit Card offers automatic rebates of up to 15% across different spending categories, including office expenses, hotels, and more. Cardholders also enjoy a range of perks, such as dining, lifestyle, and travel benefits.
The fees for using the SC business debit card will depend on the linked business account you hold⁷. Costs and minimum balance requirements vary quite significantly, so it’s worth weighing up your choices before you get started with a Standard Chartered business bank account.
The DBS Business Advance Debit Card⁸ is available to customers with a DBS business bank account,⁹ offering spending rebates, travel accident insurance, and more.
If you have not yet opened a DBS business account, you can start the process online. DBS Business Advance Debit Card customers can set their own transaction limits, make withdrawals and spend worldwide, and enjoy additional cardholder benefits and privileges.
It’s worth noting that fees do apply to the card, including a 3.25% foreign transaction fee if you’re paying for something internationally when you travel or shop online.¹⁰
Maybank customers holding a corporate current account product can also get the Maybank Business Platinum Visa Debit Card¹¹ for convenient daily spending.

And if you book your travel using your card, you may also qualify for some complimentary travel insurance to keep you and your belongings safe while you’re away.
The overall cost of using this business card depends on the specifics of the Maybank corporate current account you hold. There may be a minimum balance requirement, with fall-below fees applying if you don’t maintain the required funding level. International card spending can also prove costly, with a 2.25% foreign transaction fee plus up to a 1% card network fee on all purchases¹².

Airwallex corporate cards enable businesses to pay suppliers, make purchases, and manage team expenses globally without incurring high foreign exchange conversion costs. Transactions are automatically deducted from your linked Airwallex account in the relevant currency where possible, minimising conversion fees.
Airwallex does not charge annual fees for its debit cards, but it does offer different subscription plans, including Explore (free), Grow ($79/month), and Accelerate (from $399/month), so it’s worth reviewing Airwallex’s pricing beforehand.
Note: ATM withdrawals are not available using the physical card.
