Our Global Network

CORPORATE FINANCE

The bank started its corporate financing activities to companies in the Asia Pacific region since the inception of the Singapore Branch in 1984. 

The bank adopts a customer-focused business model and pursues a strategy that centers on developing customized and innovative solutions to serve our clients by understanding the needs and constraints faced by them. 

Today, as the branch has since evolved into a multi-faceted operation with structured finance (including Aviation, Maritime, Acquisition and Project Financing) also as our core competencies, we are able to tailor financing solutions, along with a wide range of product offerings to better meet the financing as well as investment needs of our clients.

With our Bank’s strong balance sheet, we have and will continue to support our customers through the vagaries of economic cycles.

Geographically, the Corporate Finance department covers the whole of the Asia Pacific Region, north to Japan/Korea/China and south to Australasia. There is no withholding tax imposed on cross border financing from our Bank to customers in Australia and Hong Kong.
