DCS Card Centre secures add’l $100m upsize in asset-backed notes

The funds will be allocated to finance DCS's receivables from retail and corporate customers.

DCS Card Centre has secured an additional $100m in asset-backed notes, bringing its total funding to $400m. This follows the initial $300m raised in December 2023.

In a statement, the company said the upsize is a result of its successful 2023 business transformation, marked by partnerships with MasterCard, UnionPay, and an upcoming collaboration with Visa. These alliances facilitated the launch of credit card products such as the DCS Ultimate Platinum Cards and D-Lite Cards.

“Following our successful business transformation in the past year, we have entered an exciting next phase of growth with a robust pipeline of product launches and innovative initiatives ahead,” said Karen Low, CEO of DCS Card Centre.

Fueled by upcoming product launches, the company foresees substantial growth in its credit card business for 2024, inspiring investor confidence in the $100m upsize.

DBS serves as the arranger for the deal, with potential future arrangements with other fund houses or financiers on the horizon.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
