2024 Fair Winds Lecture: DBS Bank’s Success Story: Strategic Insights for Taiwanese Companies’ Global Expansion
Founded in 1968, DBS Bank is not only the largest bank in Southeast Asia but also the most valuable publicly listed company on the Singapore Exchange, boasting an 18% return on equity. It has consistently been recognized as the World’s Best Bank, Best Digital Bank, and the Safest Bank in Asia.
DBS’s achievements are well worth exploring in depth. That’s why the Chang Feng Foundation has invited Mr. Lim Him Chuan, Chief Strategy Officer of Singapore’s DBS Group, to visit Taiwan and share the bank’s digital transformation journey. He will discuss how DBS leveraged digitization and artificial intelligence to evolve from a domestic Singaporean institution into a world-class company.
Mr. Lim previously served as General Manager of DBS Bank Taiwan, where he was known for actively integrating into local society and was hailed as the foreign banking executive most familiar with Taiwan. During his tenure, he led DBS’s acquisition of Citi’s consumer banking operations in Taiwan, offering unique perspectives on how financial institutions can break into both regional and global markets. This is a rare opportunity to learn from his valuable experience.
