OCBC Bank to adopt Singapore Customs' eBG programme

Application and delivery time of banker’s guarantee will now only take one day.

OCBC is adopting the electronic banker’s guarantee (eBG) programme launched today, which sees the application and delivery of the banker’s guarantee to the Singapore Customs slashed to just one working day, the bank announced in a press release.

Via the bank’s API connectivity with the Networked Trade Platform, the bank will be able to electronically transmit details of its customers’ eBG to Singapore Customs.

Previously, it takes seven days to process the application up to the delivery of the guarantee. OCBC issued the eBG on behalf of Infocomm Technology solution and service provider vCargo Cloud, which performs customs declaration services for forwarders and shippers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
