Questions

What is POSB’s bank code?

7171. It’s the 4-digit code GIRO and FAST forms ask for, the same as DBS’s. POSB isn’t on ABS’s list by itself: it’s part of DBS Bank Ltd.

What is POSB’s SWIFT code?

DBSSSGSG, or DBSSSGSGXXX where a form wants 11 characters (XXX is the head office). The SWIFT code, or BIC, is for money sent from overseas: give it with the bank’s name and the whole account number.

What is POSB’s branch code?

DBS: the first 3 digits of the account number. POSB (9-digit accounts): always 081. Type your account number in the finder to work it out: it’s worked out in your browser and never sent.

How many digits is a POSB account number?

9 digits, by ABS’s FAST fact sheet. FAST and PayNow take the whole number, without dashes.

Does POSB have an IBAN or a routing number?

No: Singapore banks don’t use IBANs, sort codes or routing numbers. For a transfer from overseas, give DBSSSGSG, the bank’s name (DBS Bank Ltd) and the account number; within Singapore, FAST and PayNow need only the bank and the account number.
