As of 26 February 2026, DBS Business does not serve small business customers in Australia. DBS Business is the small business banking offer of DBS centred on Singapore, built around the DBS Business Multi currency Account for companies registered in Singapore. DBS does have a Sydney branch in Australia, but it is approved for institutional banking such as corporate finance, trade finance, cash management, and treasury for larger companies, not small business deposit accounts. A business based in Australia cannot open a DBS Business account, so the alternatives below point to providers that do serve the market.

Does DBS Business serve business customers in Australia?

No. DBS Business is the small business banking arm of DBS, a Singapore headquartered bank, and its main small business product is the DBS Business Multi currency Account for companies registered in Singapore. That product is not offered to companies registered in Australia. DBS does have a presence in Australia: it runs a branch in Sydney that was approved for institutional banking, helping Asian and international companies that expand into Australia with corporate finance, trade finance, cash management, and treasury solutions, and it targets larger institutional borrowers. That wholesale business is a separate service from a small business deposit account, so a typical company in Australia falls outside it. As of 26 February 2026.

Eligibility for businesses in Australia

Because the DBS Business Multi currency Account onboards companies registered in Singapore, a company registered in Australia does not qualify for the small business product. A larger corporate or institutional client may build a relationship with the DBS branch in Sydney, but that is arranged directly through its institutional banking team and is not the same as opening a small business account. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no local Australia pricing for DBS Business, because the small business product is not offered there. In Singapore the DBS Business Multi currency Account lists a monthly service charge that can be waived at a qualifying balance, and a lower cost bundle is available for newer companies. The Australian dollar business account and local Australia account details are not supported under this product. As of 26 February 2026

What local users report

There is no base of Australia small business users for DBS Business, since the product is not available in the market. Companies in Australia that want business banking generally use local banks and digital providers that operate in the market, while DBS in Australia works with corporate and institutional clients rather than small businesses. As of 26 February 2026, confirm the current position with each provider before relying on it.

DBS Business does not appear to serve small business customers in Australia as of 26 February 2026. Verify directly with the provider. Providers confirmed available in Australia are listed on the Australia country guide.
