Travel Smart, Save More. Maximise Your Travel Budget: DBS UnionPay Platinum Debit Card holders can enjoy up to 11% savings on their everyday spending in China

From dining and shopping to attractions, every transaction helps travellers stretch their budget further while enjoying the convenience of cashless payments.

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.
