The campaign, valid until 31 March 2026, includes 8% cashback on China (CNY) spend—covering transactions through popular local e-wallets such as Alipay, WeChat Pay（ Weixin Pay）, as well as a 3% transaction fee waiver for e-wallet payments above RMB 200. Cardholders can earn a maximum of S$70 cashback per month, with a minimum monthly spend of S$400 required to qualify for the cashback.
This campaign aligns with the growing trend of Singaporeans using digital payments when travelling in China. In the first half of 2025, DBS saw an 88% year-on-year increase in in-person payments made in China with DBS cards, alongside a strong rise in customers linking their DBS cards to regional wallets such as Alipay and WeChat Pay.
