How to authenticate

  1. 1Browse the API catalogue at dbs.com/dbsdevelopers.
  2. 2Register for a developer account to access sandbox specs.
  3. 3To go live you must be a DBS corporate banking customer; engage your DBS relationship manager to onboard onto RAPID.
  4. 4Complete integration testing with DBS before production credentials are issued.

Example request

Request
curl -H 'apikey: SANDBOX_KEY' 'https://api.dbs.com/sgd/onboarding/accounts/balance' # shape depends on subscribed product

Example response

Response (truncated)
{"header":{"msgId":"..."},"data":{"accountNo":"0721234567","balance":"152340.55","currency":"SGD"}}

Notes for AI agents

Production access is relationship-managed, not self-serve; realistic only for DBS corporate customers. Sandbox exploration is still useful for scoping PayNow collection builds.
