A Digital Token is required to authenticate your online, mobile and D2Pay (eNets) transactions. This includes making payments, adding new payees and updating contact details.

It's secure

Protected with enhanced encryption, the Digital Token allows you to bank and trade safely, wherever you are.

It's simpler

Online banking transactions are authenticated with a tap of your Digital Token while mobile banking transactions are authenticated in the background. You no longer have to wait for SMS OTPs or look for your physical token.

Setting up the Digital Token

We have improved the Digital Token to allow you to use it for both mobile and online banking transactions, which requires a re-setup due to the change in security metrics.

If you have requested for a registration code to be mailed to your registered address, please wait for 3 days before trying to set up. Alternatively, please kindly close & re-open your digibank / iWealth app and login again.

You can also set up the Digital Token by performing a verification with Email & SMS OTPs. To start this journey, tap on "My physical token is damaged/lost."

You are given 90 days to set up your Digital Token. After 90 days, you can set up Digital Token again by clicking Manage Digital Token in the More Services tab in digibank.

You can authenticate your transaction manually with an OTP generated from Digital Token.

  • On Internet Banking, please click on "Enter OTP manually".
  • Launch your digibank or iWealth app (Login not required).
  • Select the Digital Token icon located in the pre-login screen.
  • Tap the “Generate OTP” button to generate a 6-digit OTP.

No. To ensure your security, you are only allowed to set up your Digital Token on one mobile device.

High risk transactions include adding a payee, performing an adhoc funds transfer and updating your personal particulars.

For your security, an additional verification using email OTP is required when you perform your first high risk transaction, after setting up the Digital Token. 

To safeguard your interest, if you are logging in with Face/Touch ID, an additional verification using your iB login PIN is required for all subsequent high risk transactions.

It is recommended that you only have your own biometrics stored as any face or fingerprint stored on your mobile device can be used to access digibank or iWealth app.

For mobile banking, all you need is any Apple device with iOS9.0 or higher, or an Android device running v5.0 or higher.


For Android Devices only: 
When using the POSB mobile banking apps on your Android device, you may experience a pop-up message that requests access to certain features. App permissions are necessary to access selected banking services on digibank.

Below are examples of permissions requested and why they are necessary:

  • Location permissions are necessary to determine your current location to display nearby POSB locations/ATMs and provide mapping directions, and to provide you contextual marketing notifications.
  • Photos, Media, Files and Camera permissions are necessary to use the personalisation and upload application document feature.
  • Contact permissions are necessary for PayNow and Top Up Prepaid Mobile.
  • Device ID and call information permissions are necessary for usage of Digital Token and push notifications.

For the digibank app on your Android device, the permissions are required upon first launch of the app. By allowing access, the app does not use the permissions to store contacts or images found in the device.

We are continually working on improving our mobile banking application capabilities. Kindly look out for future updates.

Should this happen, simply press the DBS logo button again to generate the next consecutive DBS Secure PIN, which can then be used to re-attempt login.
