    [SINGAPORE] OCBC’s incoming chief executive will continue to bank on its “One Group” approach to boost growth and synergy.

    “We are an integrated financial services group, so there are still a lot of synergies which can be reaped from working together in closer collaboration,” said Tan Teck Long, deputy CEO and head of global wholesale banking at OCBC.

    Current CEO Helen Wong had “put (the bank) on the right track” for future growth with the cross-organisation strategy, he said at the lender’s second-quarter results briefing on Friday (Aug 1).
