The remitting party wants my International Bank Account Number (IBAN). What is it?

You do not need an IBAN number for payment to a DBS account. It is only needed for payments to Europe.

How do I know my account has been credited?

You will receive an email or SMS alert via IDEAL eReports when the funds reach your account. You can also check your online transaction history to see if the money has been credited.
