DBS completes acquisition of Societe Generale’s private banking business in Asia

DBS’ high net worth assets are now $88 billion.

DBS Bank today revealed that it has successfully completed the acquisition of the Asian private banking business of Societe Generale in Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as selected parts of its trust business.

The completion of the acquisition significantly increases the scale of DBS’ wealth management business, as DBS Private Bank and Societe Generale Private Banking Asia are highly complementary in terms of clients, geographical coverage as well as product and service offerings.

With the successful acquisition of SGPB Asia’s business, DBS’ high net worth assets under management and assets under management for all wealth customers are now $88 billion and $129 billion respectively.

Societe Generale clients will now have access to DBS Private Bank's offerings in Asia while DBS clients may benefit from Societe Generale Private Banking's offerings in Europe as well as have access to a range of markets solutions designed by Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking.
The majority of employees from SGPB Asia, including management and relationship managers, will be moving over to DBS.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
