DBS clinches regulator's nod to operate in Australia

Its first branch will open this month.

DBS has received regulatory approval to operate in Australia, expanding its presence to 18 markets around the world.

The licence allows DBS to conduct institutional banking activities. DBS said that it will support Australian companies looking to expand in Asia, as well as assist Asian and international companies looking to expand in Australia.

The bank’s first branch, in Sydney, will commence operations later this month and is headed by DBS Australia Country Head Helen Yap.

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.
