2017 marked the 85th anniversary of OCBC Bank’s incorporation in 1932.
We are delighted to celebrate this occasion with you and are indeed
proud to share our rich heritage. Through the many decades, OCBC’s
solid reputation as a trusted financial institution was built on prudence,
integrity, trustworthiness and our steadfast commitment to delivering
long-term value for our customers, employees, shareholders and
the community. These values are the foundations that have anchored
our conduct and sustained our growth and accomplishments.
This year's Annual Report presents a new format to reflect our ongoing
efforts to provide readers with a more succinct yet comprehensive
document that concisely sets out our values, corporate strategy,
achievements and plans for the future.
