OCBC Bank is the oldest and most reputable bank in Singapore. It was formed in 1932 during the Great Depression as a result of the merger of three Singaporean banks, the oldest of which conducted its activities since 1912 and was called Chinese Commercial Bank. The other two banks were Ho Hong Bank (founded in 1917) and Oversea-Chinese Bank (1919).

The resulting bank was named Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (abbreviated OCBC) and since its founding has paid great importance to the understanding and meeting all the financial needs and requirements of its customers and finding appropriate solutions for them.

In 2011 and 2012 OCBC was named the strongest bank in the Bloomberg Markets world rating, which assesses the stability and reliability of banking organisations.
