OCBC – The OCBC logo was last refreshed in 1998, a quarter of a century ago. While being modernised, the logo retains the classic Chinese sailing ship which is iconic to the OCBC brand. It expresses OCBC’s founding fathers’ entrepreneurial spirit as they ventured into ASEAN to build homes and businesses that have benefited generations. This iconic symbol has been featured in every iteration of its logo since the Bank was founded in 1932. In tandem with the new refreshed logo, the Bank has launched a new tagline: For now, and beyond (心所向, 行致远 / 心所向, 行致遠). The new tagline reflects OCBC’s DNA of always taking a long-term view in all its dealings and investments, and its commitment not just to the present but also to the future, to make a lasting impact for a better world. This unified brand demonstrates OCBC’s commitment to leveraging the combined strength of its comprehensive network, as well as its One Group capabilities in banking, wealth management and insurance, to support the increasingly cross-border aspirations and growth of businesses and individuals.
Helen Wong, OCBC Group CEO: “The flow business between ASEAN and Greater China is not new to us. We recognise its potential. Over the years, we have built a strong franchise and put ourselves in a very good position to capture these flows. The effects of China’s reopening post-pandemic, the rise of ASEAN for the China plus one strategy and other geopolitical factors have amplified this potential. The unified brand that we have unveiled today is yet another strategic move. It solidifies our One Group approach, one of eight core pillars of our Corporate Strategy that was refreshed in 2022. It also furthers our commitment to customers: that when they bank with us, they have the collective strength of OCBC Group supporting them seamlessly across markets. With this One Group approach, our comprehensive ASEAN- Greater China franchise and twin hub proposition of Singapore and Hong Kong becomes even more compelling. In ASEAN, OCBC services the top seven markets using locally incorporated banking and insurance subsidiaries, and bank branches and offices, which contribute to over 98% economic growth of the region. In Greater China, we have around 4,500 staff across 67 branches in 17 cities in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan complemented by our powerful partnership with Bank of Ningbo. We are therefore confident that we will be able to deliver S$3 billion in incremental revenue by 2025 from our ASEAN-Greater China focus.”

Wealth Management
Global Consumer Financial Services
By 2025, OCBC aims to double assets under management (AUM) of its Premier Banking and Premier Private Client (PPC) segments for Greater China. In support of this, the bank will double the number of relationship managers serving high-net worth customers in the Premier Banking and Premier Private Client segment in Greater China by 2025. This will enable continued strong AUM growth for Premier Banking and PPC, which together recorded a 3.5 times increase in AUM from 2013 to 2022.
Bank of Singapore
Bank of Singapore, OCBC’s private banking subsidiary, likewise aims to increase its AUM – to USD145 billion by end 2025. To reach this AUM target, Bank of Singapore will grow its team of relationship managers to 500 by then. BOS is riding strong momentum, with AUM having tripled between 2013 and 2022. This was led by Greater China, where AUM increased by five times over the same period.
Global Wholesale Banking
To capitalise on these opportunities enroute to its goal of S$3 billion in incremental revenue over the next three years, OCBC will make further investments into its wholesale banking business. S$140 million has already been invested over the past three years to build up its digital capabilities. Specifically, to build up its transaction banking capabilities in Greater China, the bank will invest more than S$50 million over the next three years. It targets to achieve more than 500 regional mandates for cash management over the next five years.
Enhancements to investment banking capabilities in Greater China, especially in debt issuance and syndication, and advising and financing of cross-border corporate finance deals, will also be made as the bank aims to double its investment banking revenue in three years.
OCBC expects to grow its pool of bankers in line with this regional push. This is in line with its projections that were shared in 2021, when OCBC said that it would increase the number of corporate and commercial bankers by 30% to about 400 by 2024, with some of these hires being for the Bank’s Greater China Business Office. Greater China Business Office supports Greater China businesses’ expansion plans in ASEAN and currently has teams in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
