Bank DBS Indonesia helps Pekanbaru citizens feel confident in seizing investment and business opportunities
Indonesia, 27 Jul 2024 - Bank DBS Indonesia ("Bank DBS") always strives to understand the challenges faced by customers and identify their needs through research. Its latest research has found changes in wealth management needs, including a change in the definition of wealth in the affluent segment. In the past, wealth in the affluent segment denoted the financial profile of an individual. Today, it also encompasses the financial profile or net worth of a business. Therefore, it is crucial for wealth management partners to have a vision and capabilities that cover both areas.
In addition, the 2024 Customer Immersion study on Bank DBS Indonesia's priority and private banking segments highlights the affluent segment’s dominance in Indonesia with 66 percent of them classified as business owners, 16 percent as private employees and 15 percent as professionals. Other findings reveal that three segments, namely retail, priority and private banking, share a common need, which is to find partners who can provide guidance and discuss investment and business opportunities. This is especially crucial for priority and private banking customers.
However, each segment faces different challenges. The retail segment may find investment too hard to understand. The priority banking segment, on the other hand, faces problems in finding reliable partners to support growth in every aspect of life (financial, business, and personal growth). Meanwhile, the private banking segment has to deal with the challenges of information complexity as they strive to strengthen their business while preparing the next generation to run the business.
To support all three segments, Bank DBS Indonesia presents personalised solutions that suit the profile of each segment so that customers can
'Be Confident. Be More of You.'
These solutions include local and regional insights, Bank DBS’ global networks, business and investment banking services (Consumer Banking Group and Institutional Banking Group), and artificial intelligence-enhanced insights. Bank DBS Indonesia also continues to grow wealth penetration by improving financial literacy and expanding access to investment products in the digibank by DBS ecosystem with non-banking partners in the wealth technology sector. These partnerships will be further scaled up in 2025 to accelerate wealth growth at Bank DBS Indonesia.
"Bank DBS Indonesia understands the different needs for wealth management in each segment, which is why we deal with it early on by presenting different solutions so that they can
