STANDARD Chartered's Holland Village branch was robbed late Thursday morning.
"All bank employees and customers are safe. The bank immediately filed a police report and is working closely with the police on the investigations. We are unable to provide further details at this point," a spokeswoman said.
The bank has shut the branch for police investigations.
According to a police spokesman, no weapons were used during the robbery and there were no injuries.
A Straits Times report added that a resident had said the police were asking people if they had seen anyone matching a photo of a Caucasian man who was wearing a grey hoodie and mustard pants. The paper also reported that it understands that the robber took about S$30,000 in cash.
"We would like to highlight that the safety of our customers and staff are our top priority and our branch staff are all well trained to react to such situations," the bank's spokeswoman added.
