It works for me. Though I pay to a local Card so there is no currency conversion fee or anything. And it's instantaneousaki01 wrote:Hi,
I have a US credit card and DBS is my local account here. They have a service where you can pay an overseas credit card (visa) via transfer from the DBS account. Im just curious if anyone has availed of this and if there is anything I should be aware of. I have a multi-currency account so would change SGD to USD before transferring.
thanks

I am sure OP is referring the DBS 'pay overseas credit card' option. Not to a Checking account that pays the card. You key in the VISA or Master card # and pay to it directly.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Not the same thing squirrel. I have a US VISA & AMEX card but I maintain a US checking account which I top up occasionally in order to cover my payments on the rare occasion that I do use them. I also have a couple of local VISA Cards and a Diners Club card which takes care of my here. I've had my US cards since 1979, so I'm reluctant to give them up (I love the member since date!). My local cards all date from 1984. Except for my Corporate VISA card which is around 10 years old.
Ok, then this one is right !aki01 wrote:yep, to give you some background - i want to keep my US credit cards.(one is with Marriott, the other with United Airlines). My funds in my US account are pretty low. The account is with a credit union so its not a simple process to transfer funds across from Singapore. However, DBS apparently has a facility whereby you can pay a foreign Visa credit card (or a Visa debit card tied to a foreign bank account) by doing a transfer from your local DBS account. It looks straightforward, I was just curious if any expats have used this.
