Expert review

The HomeTeamNS PAssion POSB Debit Card is a rewards debit card that offers a strong range of benefits, including a 2% cashback rate on contactless transactions including bus or train trips made via SimplyGo. If you’ve held a valid HomeTeamNS membership as an Ordinary or Associate member for more than 12 months, this card will be all the more attractive as it’ll be completely free (just keep an eye out for the standard account charges which are outlined on DBS’ website). The reduced rates you can get with HomeTeamNS are wide-ranging and include parking discounts, plus, concessions with the likes of Universal Studios Singapore, Adventure Cove Waterpark and S.E.A. Aquarium.

You’ll have to spend at least S$400 per month on your card to get these benefits. Plus, enjoy 1% cashback at Takashimaya Department Store and Takashimaya Square, B2. You’ll receive a 0.3% cash rebate on all other retail spend.
  • HomeTeamNS membership privileges. Access to five HomeTeamNS clubhouses and facilities are among the further benefits.
