OCBC Graduate Talent across different entities in the region met our Group CEO, Helen Wong, and Head of Group Human Resources, Jason Ho, in an intimate conversation session with leadership. Addressing questions from our young talent, Helen and Jason candidly shared about maintaining a healthy lifestyle beyond work, their personal stories, and their views on the market and tips on building a career within the bank. OCBC is committed to investing in the growth of our talent and equipping them with core skills that help build their career. We have different opportunities across the OCBC Group and our people have the flexibility to develop themselves in different roles across entities and regions. There will be more cross border collaborations and rotations for our Graduate Talent for global exposure. To our 2019 Graduate Talent, we congratulate you on your graduation from the programme! We see your potential and hope to see you score new heights in your career with us. #WeSeeYou #OCBCGTP
Some customers are relentless – but so are our branch banking colleagues! It took five of them from our Choa Chu Kang branch to convince a 57 year old female customer - on three separate occasions - not to remit monies overseas as they were convinced she was a victim of a love scam.
The human touch plays a big part in helping to spot and stop customers from falling for scams. One of our bank officers, Kristie Chiang, even resorted to calling a scammer from her customer’s phone to ‘scold’ him!
In 2019, we announced that we would no longer be funding new coal-fired power plants. But what was the journey towards this milestone like, and what green projects have we been supporting instead? Our Head of Structured Finance and Sustainable Finance, Mike Ng shares his thoughts.

The OCBC SME Index is the first data-driven SME-focused index in Singapore based on the transactional data of SMEs. We developed it to bring greater focus to SMEs, which are critical to the Singapore economy. As they emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic and navigate the significant disruptions and opportunities in digitalisation, industry transformation and the shift to sustainability, this index can help to track their progress.
For those of you who pay out of your own pocket first and seek reimbursement from your company later – this solution might be of interest to you. We recently launched the OCBC Virtual Purchasing Card which can be requested by a company’s employees, and even non-employees like contract staff and visiting delegates, via mobile app, and used for mobile contactless, in-app and online payments at all Visa accepting merchants. A virtual card can even be issued for one-off, ad-hoc transactions. Singapore University of Social Sciences will be piloting this in the second quarter of 2021, with software licenses and subscription fees as some examples of potential purchases that can be made with the virtual card.
