PETALING JAYA: OCBC has been recognised as the strongest bank in Singapore and Asia Pacific, and third globally, in the latest World’s 1,000 Strongest Banks ranking by The Asian Banker.
The accolade comes after OCBC took the top spot among global banks in the inaugural World’s Top Performing Banks ranking developed by Forbes and Statista in September 2026, said the bank in a statement.
“This marks the first time a Singapore bank has finished among the top three in the world since The Asian Banker’s ranking was introduced in 2023.
“The bank is also the top performer in the Straits Times Index this year, with its share price up by 46.8% year-to-date as of Oct 23, 2026.
OCBC group chief executive officer Tan Teck Long said being named one of the world’s strongest banks, soon after being recognised as the ‘top performing bank’, reflects the resilience of the OCBC franchise.
“Such resilience is built on customer trust that endures over generations.
“Every day, thousands of OCBC colleagues across the group sustain that trust by serving our customers and enabling them to realise their aspirations.
“We will continue to build on this strong foundation to create lasting value for our customers, communities and shareholders.”
