DBS's mortgage and insurance sales hit new highs in Q2
Consumer banking unit reports best results for Q2, with profit before tax jumping 56% and total income growing 27%
Singapore
DBS Group Holdings' consumer banking is on a roll. Despite slower economic growth and a sluggish property market, the bank's home-loan and bancassurance sales are hitting records as the lender's strong franchise and dominant position in Singapore give it the edge over rivals.
DBS is selling more home loans despite a sluggish property market with new mortgage bookings at S$3 billion in the second quarter of this year, said chief executive Piyush Gupta.
