More than 500 DBS Bank staff clamoured to bid farewell to their office in Shenton Way as the bank made the official move to its new premises at the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) on Friday.
They thronged the bank's last townhall meeting, held each quarter at the DBS Auditorium after the latest financial results are announced.
The staff gathered for a group photograph in front of the building.
Shuttle buses ferried the excited staff from their existing office to MBFC where there was a small lighting ceremony for the DBS logo on the building.

DBS TO SET UP HEADQUARTERS, WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART FLAGSHIP
BRANCH, AT MARINA BAY FINANCIAL CENTRE IN 2012

As largest anchor tenant, DBS’ move will cement Marina Bay area as Singapore’s new financial centre
SINGAPORE, 28 September 2011 – DBS Bank announced today that it will move its new headquarters and flagship branch to Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) Tower 3 in the second half of 2012. As Singapore’s biggest bank and a leading bank in Asia, DBS will anchor the MBFC, cementing the Marina Bay area as Singapore's new financial centre.
Said DBS Chairman Peter Seah on the topping out ceremony of MBFC Tower 3: “With our Development Bank of Singapore lineage, DBS has, over the years, played a key role in shaping and financing the development of Singapore. In 1974, when DBS built our present 50-storey headquarters at Shenton Way, it was Singapore’s tallest and broke the glass ceiling for the construction of office blocks. Today marks yet another historic moment for DBS. As the largest bank in Singapore and a leading bank in Asia, DBS has been synonymous with the region's growth. Our new headquarters and flagship branch at MBFC Tower 3 will further cement the Marina Bay area as Singapore's new financial centre.”
DBS will be the anchor tenant at MBFC Tower 3, occupying over 600,000 square feet, or 18 floors, of the 46-storey building. The new premises will also house DBS’ flagship branch, which will not only offer regular transaction banking services, but also cater to the needs of affluent and high net worth individuals as well as small and medium-sized enterprises.
With the move, over 4,800 DBS employees, mainly from the bank’s customer-facing units, including consumer banking, institutional banking, treasury and markets and wealth management, currently housed in four locations across Singapore, will be integrated under one roof for greater productivity, efficiency and customer effectiveness. The new premises, which will also provide DBS staff with a more conducive and modern work environment, is part of DBS’ multi-year, multi-market strategic occupancy programme, which was first unveiled in 2007.
This follows a similar move last year to provide staff from DBS’ key operations functions with a better working environment, and to promote greater customer efficiencies. Over 3,000 staff from DBS’ technology and operations units moved to DBS Asia Hub, a 340,000 square feet purpose-built facility, at the Changi Business Park.
Said DBS CEO Piyush Gupta: “Notwithstanding the global economic downturn, DBS remains committed to growing our franchise in Asia, and in investing for the future. This includes nurturing and developing talent, and giving our people a whole host of opportunities to develop their careers with us in a modern and comfortable work environment. DBS’ strategic occupancy programme also consolidates relevant teams under one roof to facilitate greater efficiency and productivity; this, in turn, enables the bank to be even more responsive to customers’ needs.”
Said Wilson Kwong, CEO of Raffles Quay Asset Management: "We are very pleased that DBS has chosen to make MBFC Tower 3 its new headquarters. With Singapore's largest bank anchoring the MBFC as our biggest tenant, this further underlines the Marina Bay area as a world-class business location. As Asia’s best business address, with our location in the heart of the New Downtown of Marina Bay and the stellar lineup of tenants, MBFC fortifies Singapore’s position as a global financial hub."
