Corporate accounts usually require multiple signatures and different levels of authority. However, the new service allows the online account opening forms to be pre-populated to save time, unnecessary paperwork and form-filling.
Clients can get their forms verified by scheduling an appointment with a bank branch of their choice at their preferred time.
So far, 24 companies including CL Interior & Engineering, Kloud and others have tried the new service.
DBS SME Banking head, Lim Chu Chong, said the new generation of entrepreneurs are tech-savvy, especially with regard to mobile usage, and travel frequently.
