DBS's latest investment in retail marketplace Carousell comes as banking can no longer be a matter of managing pipes, but has to work by plugging into lifestyles in an "invisible" way, said DBS CEO Piyush Gupta.

Mr Gupta's comments came as Singapore's largest bank - which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year - on Tuesday launched a S$30 million branding campaign that aims for a "live more, bank less" approach.
