Greater Bay Area – GBA

Driving digitalisation, sustainable banking, and one-bank solutions in a thriving hub

    At a Glance

    In support of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA) development scheme, we at DBS have established specialised teams to focus primarily on business growth in the area. Following our expansive footprint in Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Dongguan, we continue to successfully unlock the potential of new GBA cities.

    Leveraging DBS’s strong presence and connectivity within the Asian region, we are committed to offering customisable hassle-free solutions ranging from corporate and commercial banking products to personal wealth management, investment banking and advisory services. Besides, we are dedicated to leading the digital transformation in the GBA.

    • Headquartered in Shanghai, DBS was amongst the first few foreign banks and the first Singapore bank to incorporate a fully-owned local subsidiary in China.
    • DBS Hong Kong covers DBS's second largest market and anchors the Greater China franchise. With a full range of services in consumer, SME and corporate banking, we offer a well-diversified wealth management portfolio.

    As we seek to reimagine banking, we are humbled by the global recognition of our efforts to deliver innovative financial solutions to our clients.
