To The Moon

$DBS(D05.SI)$  was founded in 1968 by the Singapore government to finance industrialisation and infrastructure development after independence.Today, DBS is Southeast Asia’s largest bank, with a presence in China, India, Indonesia, and beyond — much like how Singapore positions itself as a small but globally connected hub.Despite its global reach, its headquarters, decision-making, and brand identity remain firmly Singaporean.DBS has been recognised as the “World’s Best Digital Bank” multiple times by Euromoney and The Banker.Its tech-driven transformation mirrors Singapore’s push for innovation, efficiency, and digital leadership.

Singapore prides itself on being politically and economically stable; DBS has the same reputation in banking — conservative risk management, solid capital ratios, and consistent dividends. Like Singapore itself, DBS blends Eastern prudence with Western business practices. Its customer service, regulatory discipline, and multilingual outreach echo Singapore’s own multicultural, rule-of-law approach.If you want a “Singaporean icon” on the stock exchange, DBS is the equivalent of the Merlion in corporate form — born here, shaped here, and still carrying the city-state’s DNA while navigating the global stage.
