DBS today unveiled their latest credit card offering targeted at the affluent female segment – DBS Woman’s World MasterCard Card. Having launched the DBS Woman’s Platinum MasterCard Card in 2004, the bank decided to launch this new card to complement the changing lifestyles and aspirations of the woman of today.
With the tagline “I am a Woman of the World“, the card recognises that women today are connected, independent and confident. They know what they want and will not settle for second best.

DBS has done away with printed materials in the welcome pack that traditionally comes with the new card. Instead, the bank has developed a mobile app “DBS Woman’s” which is currently available for download from Apple’s App Store. It plans to roll out the app for other mobile platforms in the future.
The app let’s you access your e-statements and benefits on the go. As part of the benefits, you can book for your priority Comfort or CityCab taxi from the app.
Annual Fees
Principal card S$180 | Supplementary card S$90 each.
You can save on the first year’s annual fee if you do not opt for the Feed at Raffles Class membership.
