OCBC upskills 2,000 elderly customers with its Digital Silvers programme

It is increasing its workshops to thrice a week from only twice a month.

OCBC is upskilling 2,000 elderly customers through its Digital Silvers programme.

OCBC Digital Silvers is a one-on-one training programme for elderly customers aged 60 years and above. Its curriculum aims to help the silver generation to learn how to bank and pay digitally, and to stay safe from scams whilst doing so.

The bank is increasing the frequency of its workshops from around twice a month to thrice a week.

OCBC is also leveraging all 30 of its personal banking branches island-wide to do so, up from the 10 heartland branches.

The programme has reportedly already benefited more than 300 elderly customers since its launch in September. With this, OCBC said that it's on its way to achieving its initial target of upskilling 400 elderly customers by June 2023, which is its goal during the programme’s launch.

OCBC said that its Digital Silvers Programme has been refreshed – and will continuously be updated – to meet the needs of customers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
