Singapore’s financial landscape just took a leap into the future with the launch of DeCard Visa card — a first-of-its-kind, micro credit card co-developed by DCS Card Centre and Visa. Designed to meet the evolving demands of today’s digital-savvy consumers, DeCard empowers users to spend only what they already own — whether it’s traditional fiat or digital assets — all within a secure, flexible, and regulation-first framework.
A Smarter Way to Spend
Backed by DCS, formerly known as Diners Club Singapore, and Visa’s global payment network, DeCard delivers a seamless and transparent experience that bridges Web2 and Web3 finance. Users can top up the card with SGD or convert stablecoins (USDT and USDC) to fiat via MAS-licensed Digital Payment Token (DPT) service providers — ensuring compliance with Singapore’s Payment Services Act and upholding responsible digital innovation.
With no annual fees and a high, flexible spending limit, DeCard offers consumers a spend-what-you-have model, helping avoid debt while tapping into the full utility of digital assets and fiat alike.
Why DeCard Matters
In 2024, 26% of Singaporeans owned digital assets, with 67% planning to increase usage. Meanwhile, prepaid and contactless cards remain the dominant payment choice at 34%, with the prepaid market alone expected to surpass US$13 billion by 2028. DeCard is uniquely positioned to meet this dual demand for real-world usability and controlled spending — without pushing speculative digital asset adoption.
