DBS to pay $1,000 one-time bonus to 6,800 junior staff in SG

The move covers over 23,000 employees across global operations

DBS will be giving a special one-time bonus of $1,000 to junior-ranked employees, according to the group’s press release.

The move covers nearly 6,800 employees in Singapore, part of more than 23,000 staff across the bank’s global operations. DBS has allocated $18m for the initiative.

The bank previously gave a similar bonus of $1,000 to junior employees in 2024, which totalled $15m.

The bonus recognises the contributions of junior staff amidst difficult business conditions, said DBS CEO Tan Su Shan.

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.
