UBS, Credit Suisse SG operations "uninterrupted" post-acquisition: MAS

Both banks will operate on separate licences in Singapore.

UBS and Credit Suisse operations in Singapore will continue uninterrupted after the completed acquisition, said the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Both banks will maintain separate licences in Singapore. The entities have established governance structures to oversee and facilitate the smooth integration of their Singapore operations. 

Their main focus in Singapore is on private banking and investment banking.

MAS added that it maintains close communication with the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the banks regarding the integration process.

MAS is overseeing the impact on employment within the banks and has expressed its expectation for responsible handling of this matter. 

The banks are currently in the process of determining the specific implications for their workforce. MAS will collaborate with relevant stakeholders to address any employment-related consequences proactively.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
