DBS Group Holdings Ltd.

DBS Group Holdings was originally incorporated as The Development Bank of Singapore in 1968. It started as a financing institution for Singaporean companies and urban development projects. As the bank grew to include overseas divisions in China and Southeast Asia, the name was officially changed to DBS in 2003 to reflect its role as a regional bank. Its largest minority shareholder is Singapore state investor Temasek Holdings. The group has Singapore's largest network of over 2300 branches and self-service banking machines and also holds the leading domestic market share in the nation's banking sector.

CEO and director Piyush Gupta has led the group since 2009. Prior to joining DBS, Gupta was CEO of Citigroup's Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand operations. Under Gupta's leadership, DBS is undergoing expansion both across the region and at home. In 2014, DBS acquired Societe Generale's private banking business in Singapore and Hong Kong for $220 million, strengthening its wealth management business which targets millionaires in Asia. DBS was also the first Singaporean bank to incorporate in China in 2007. It now has branches in 10 major Chinese cities, as well as 50 branches in Hong Kong.
