    [SINGAPORE] OCBC’s incoming chief executive wants to continue building on the bank’s cross-selling and integration strategy.

    “We are an integrated financial services group, so there will be synergies to be reaped from working better together,” said Tan Teck Long, deputy CEO and head of global wholesale banking at OCBC, in an interview with The Business Times.

    Under outgoing CEO Helen Wong, OCBC embarked on a corporate strategy refresh in 2022 that focused on capturing Asean-Greater China trade and investment flows and rising Asian wealth.
