IAPB will now be a wholly-owned private banking subsidiary of OCBC Bank and re-named as Bank of Singapore. The new bank will be led by Renato de Guzman, the CEO of the former IAPB. The private banking businesses of IAPB and OCBC Bank will be combined and be operated as Bank of Singapore.

David Conner, CEO of OCBC Bank, said: “OCBC private bank customers will benefit from IAPB’s fully open architecture product platform and proprietary research, while IAPB customers will benefit from the access to OCBC’s extensive branch network and products and services that were previously not available to them, such as property financing, brokerage services, insurance, retail and SME banking products and services.”
