Singapore is the biggest retail and wealth management market for DBS, which also has operations in places including Hong Kong, Indonesia and India.
DBS did not elaborate on the cause of the disruption.
DBS' Facebook post attracted more than 2,000 comments, with users saying they were unable to log in onto their digital bank accounts, while some asked for compensation.
"How long is this going to take to get it fully restored and running? This is incredibly frustrating when I need to have access to my funds," said user Nicole Lou.
