Customers looking for the new multi-currency debit card do not have to pay any sign-up and annual charges as well as dormancy fees.
Available for individuals and businesses, the new debit card also allows users to withdraw up to S$350 ($255) in a month at any ATM across the globe where Mastercard is accepted.
