Singapore’s Big Three Banks Draw SGD77bn in New Wealth Inflows

Singapore’s three largest banks drew SGD77bn (USD 60.4bn) in net new money in 2025 as geopolitical strains and trade uncertainty pushed wealthy Asians to shift assets to the city-state, highlighting Singapore banks wealth inflows.

OCBC said net new money rose 30% to SGD27bn, lifting wealth AUM to SGD343bn, while DBS reported SGD39bn of inflows that brought wealth AUM to SGD488bn, and UOB logged SGD11bn, taking high-net-worth AUM to SGD201bn.

The surge is pushing lenders to rely more on wealth fees as loan margins tighten, with wealth management fees up 33% at OCBC and 29% at DBS, underlining Singapore banks wealth inflows.
