How Much Can withdraw from POSB/DBS

Posted on

You need a significant amount of money from your saving account, and you worry that the bank isn’t able to give you the money you need. It’s a reasonable concern for many bank customers, particularly in the event of a fiscal crisis. In fact, these are justifiable concerns.

Much like there are rules for depositing a great deal of money, the same applies to making funds withdrawals. If you have a POSB/DBS account, you surely have known that there’s a default daily withdrawals limit.

Knowing how much can withdraw from POSB/DBS deems to be vital as you can decide whether or not you have to change the withdrawal limit.

What is POSB/DBS Default Withdrawal Limit?

The daily transaction limit for both local and overseas funds withdrawal is S$3,000. The withdrawal limit for NETS purchases is also S$3,000 a day. If the cash you wish to withdraw is above the default limit, it will instead lead to a fail transaction.

With POSB/DBS internet banking, you have the flexibility in changing the default limit for ATM funds withdrawal and adjust it to your desired amount. You can change it to sum between S$500 and S$5,000.
