I think most local banks should now offer debit cards, but you
might want to check with DBS first... I vaguely recall them
advertising it.

Basically, a debit card account is like a current account, but
instead of writing checks, you flash your credit card.

Like a current account, you must have cash in the account before
you start signing your name every-which-way. However, unlike a
current account, you can use this money anywhere credit cards
are accepted.

Because you must put your money with the bank first, you do not
need to fulfill all those stringent requirements that credit card
owners must.

Ask your friend to visit the websites of local banks, starting with
DBS/POSB. If that fails, call their customer service line... they're
only too willing to talk to new people from whom they can su... I
mean, who they can help financially.
