Bank of Singapore

Jason Moo has served as CEO since March 2023. He succeeded Bahren Shaari, who moved into the Chairman role. The bank operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), one of Singapore's three largest listed banks. OCBC's capital backing and regulatory standing as a major Singapore financial institution define the bank's governance structure.

Bank of Singapore is a private bank, not a single-family office — it serves thousands of external clients across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Its core client base includes high-net-worth individuals, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and single-family offices. It does not manage a single family's legacy wealth.

The bank uses its OCBC relationship network and its own adviser force to source both public-market and private-market opportunities. For private markets, it accesses institutional-quality fund managers and structures direct co-investments for larger mandates. Its balance-sheet lending capability also enables structured credit solutions that pure advisory firms cannot provide.

Bank of Singapore is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), which is listed on the Singapore Exchange. OCBC acquired ING Asia Private Bank in 2009 and rebranded it as Bank of Singapore in 2010. The bank sits inside OCBC's global wealth division but operates under its own brand and management team.

Bank of Singapore provides both. Its discretionary portfolios allocate across funds and direct securities. For its largest clients, the bank structures direct co-investments into private equity and real assets alongside institutional managers. It also provides execution-only brokerage for listed securities and structured products.
