Bank of Singapore has announced the appointment of two senior relationship managers, Che Yan and Hank Chen, to its Hong Kong branch, aiming to strengthen its presence in the Greater China region. This strategic move follows a significant increase in the branch’s relationship manager headcount last year, which grew by nearly 30%, with a majority possessing extensive industry experience.
Che Yan, with nearly 20 years in cross-border finance, previously held roles at China Minsheng Bank, where she focused on corporate banking and ultra-high-net-worth client management. Meanwhile, Hank Chen brings 25 years of experience, having served as an Executive Director at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, specialising in investment advisory and asset allocation.
The Hong Kong branch has already surpassed its 50% assets under management (AUM) growth target for the 2024–2026 period, achieving this milestone more than a year ahead of schedule. Rickie Chan, Head of Private Banking, Greater China, and Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Branch, expressed enthusiasm about the new appointments, stating, “Their appointments reflect our continued success in attracting experienced, quality talent who are excited to be part of our growth journey, reaffirming the strength and appeal of our brand.”
The addition of Che Yan and Hank Chen is expected to further enhance the bank’s capabilities in serving high-net-worth and institutional clients across the region, reinforcing its commitment to delivering exceptional banking services in Greater China.
