On 3 July 2023, after almost a quarter of a century, we unveiled the 5th generation of the OCBC logo. This refreshed logo is significant. Along with legal name changes for key subsidiaries across our core markets, it unifies the OCBC brand, solidifying our One Group approach to capitalise on the sizeable ASEAN-Greater China opportunity. In tandem, we also introduced a new tagline: For now, and beyond. This 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 with long-lasting impact for a better world. Anchored on our core values, we will continue to create lasting value for our shareholders, customers, staff and the community.
We’ve launched our Families100 Programme by OCBC, a 12-month-long initiative in partnership with the Ministry of Social and Family Development to assist lower-income families. Our dedicated staff volunteers will help these families identify challenges and provide tailored assistance. Our support extends beyond offering financial aid — it may include applying for grants to upskill individuals seeking career progression and enabling access to sports and creative outlets for youths to pursue their interests and to motivate them to continue with their academic journey.

OCBC IGNITE is a first-of-its-kind year-long OCBC Bank tech internship designed for budding tech talents. We welcomed the first batch of interns from Ngee Ann Polytechnic's School of Infocomm Technology in 2022. Hear what the IGNITES have to say about 12-months of hands-on discovery and learning in OCBC Group Operations and Technology. This curated internship spans the third and final year of Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Diploma in Information Technology course and could lead to full-time employment for participating students. Its 12-month duration – double that of a typical 6-month internship undertaken by final-year polytechnic students – gives students ample time to deepen their understanding of the financial sector, develop industry-current tech skills, and amass real-world work experience early, all of which will ready them for the workplace upon graduation. Interns get to deepen their understanding of topics like Data Visualisation, Machine Learning, Cloud Technologies or Mobile App Development.
At OCBC, we want to transform banking with a people-first culture and offer meaningful and purposeful work with great people who make each other better. Banking is first and foremost about people and relationships, and we want to ensure that we build good relationships with each other, regardless of our differences in appearances, gender, educational background, or age. As we get together on International Women's Day #IWD2023, we celebrate our differences and #EmbraceEquity - not just for one day, but for each day going forward.
OCBC Bank, Tech Talent Assembly (TTAB), and the Banking and Financial Services Union (BFSU) have inked a partnership to introduce a new training programme aimed at providing info-communications and technology (ICT) professionals with better employment outcomes in the banking industry. The partnership is in line with the government’s goal to strengthen the training and placement ecosystem with the newly-announced Jobs-Skills Integrator initiative at the Budget 2023. The training curriculum in this programme focuses on different technology modules covering DevOps, full stack development, data engineering and blockchain, amongst others, that are curated for the purpose of landing a technology job in the banking industry. It will also provide participants a better understanding of the banking industry and the application of the technologies.
