Why does my transaction reflect "pending"? Does it mean my transaction did not go through?
This is a normal payment process. When your transaction is performed and approved, your Dash balance will be deducted with the transaction amount and your transaction will show "pending" until the merchant processes and completes the transaction backend. This will usually take 3 to 4 days (maximum 14 days) after your purchase, until it has been processed.
I didn't make any transaction today but my Transaction History shows a new transaction on my Dash account.
In some cases, when the merchant confirms the payment a few days after your transaction, the amount of the transaction can be adjusted to reflect the actual amount. This happens when some items of your total order are not available, and the final amount will be lesser than your amount paid. Your transaction history will show the previous transaction as "Cancelled" and a new transaction will be shown with the final amount. The difference will be debited or credited automatically to your Dash balance.
Why is the transaction amount deducted in SGD from my balance different from the SGD amount displayed on merchant website?
Visa applies a processing fee for foreign or overseas transactions. Hence, an additional processing fee will be included and deducted in SGD from your Dash balance.
Why does the transaction amount change a few days after my transaction is made?
In some cases, when the merchant confirms the payment a few days after your transaction, the amount of the transaction can be adjusted to reflect the actual amount. This happens when some items of your total order are not available, and the final amount will be lesser than your amount paid. Your transaction history will show the previous transaction as "Cancelled" and a new transaction will be shown with the final amount. The difference will be debited or credited automatically to your Dash balance. For overseas payments, the foreign exchange rate provided by Visa may change between the day you made the transaction and the day the merchant completed it. Thus, transactions with foreign currency might be more subject to amount changes.
Do I need to activate my Dash Visa Virtual Account for overseas transactions?
No, you do not need to activate your Dash Visa Virtual Account for overseas transactions. You can use it instantly!
What are the fees involved for overseas transactions?
For overseas transactions, processing fees of 2.8% of the transaction value is applied.
When I tap my phone on the Visa Contactless terminal, nothing happens or Dash App shows a red cross even after trying several times.
Ensure that your NFC setting is turned ON. Check that your Visa Contactless service is ACTIVE by going to Settings / Update Preferences/Dash Visa Account/Status. Launch your Singtel Dash App and ensure your screen is ON when you tap on the Contactless terminal. If the previous steps didn’t work, uninstall then reinstall your Singtel Dash App.
Please also note that the Visa Virtual Card is unavailable from 2 November 2022 (from version 6.0.0)
on Huawei devices not equipped with Google Mobile Services.
I am unable to use my Dash Visa Virtual Card at selected merchants. Why is that so?
You may have insufficient wallet balance or the merchant may not be supported on the Visa network.
Will I be billed for the purchases made via Visa?
Your Dash Visa Virtual Account is a virtual prepaid account. All payments will be deducted from your Dash balance immediately. You will be required to have sufficient balance before making payments.
What will happen if my Dash Visa transaction cannot be processed?
If the transaction cannot be processed, no money will be deducted from your Dash wallet.
Can I make payments for overseas merchants?
Yes, Dash now supports overseas transactions. With your Dash Visa Virtual Account, you can make Visa payWave transactions overseas or online purchases from overseas websites. The amount in foreign currency will be automatically converted to SGD and deducted from your balance. Please note that additional processing fees apply for transactions made at overseas merchants and will be included in the final amount deducted from Dash balance.
Is there any other added security when I make payments?
To prevent unauthorised transactions when making payments online, a one-time-password (OTP) may be sent to your registered Dash mobile number during an e-commerce transaction. The OTP has to be entered for verification within 3 minutes of its receipt, significantly reducing the risk of fraudulent use of your Dash Visa Virtual Account. Each OTP will expire after 3 minutes and is limited to one time use. After each payment you will receive a notification including your merchant name and the amount of the transaction to confirm your successful transaction. Please ensure that notifications are allowed for Singtel Dash in your Android OS settings. For more security, customer can disable payWave PINless mode in Dash Visa account settings. When PINless mode is disabled, you need to click on your Visa card to enter your PIN before payment on the payWave terminal.

Will customer get notification for declined transactions?
Yes, on both Dash App and Apple Wallet.
