Key industry citations

“Rough seas make good sailors. The banking industry faces an ongoing pandemic, regional conflicts with global effects and increasing inflation for the foreseeable future. Add to that the growing economic and humanitarian impact of climate change, and these trends separate the best banks from their rivals. DBS navigated these waters admirably while broadening its product portfolio, growing its business and investing in sustainability.”

World’s Best Bank, Global Finance

“The powerful set of capabilities that make up the DBS Bank digital workplace is underpinned by ambitious and creative strategic vision, multilevel governance in which business and technology have an equal voice, as well as thoughtful and comprehensive user engagement.”

Digital Workplace of the year: Cutting Edge Award, Digital Workplace Group

“Businesses need to transform themselves in order to compete in today’s fast-changing markets. Through my numerous conversations with DBS’ executives, what came across very strongly were the digital and purpose-focused elements of the transformation and how these permeated every level of the organisation.”

Professor Ranjay Gulati, Harvard Business School

Our commitment to advancing the sustainability agenda was also recognised. DBS received the global award for “Financial Leadership in Sustaining Communities”. We were also recognised among leading examples of stewardship excellence in Asia-Pacific by Stewardship Asia. In addition, the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre in Singapore acknowledged our efforts as a purpose-driven bank with the “President’s Volunteerism & Philanthropy” award.
