Singapore's second-largest lender OCBC has placed third globally in the latest World's 1,000 Strongest Banks ranking by The Asian Banker (TAB) published on Tuesday (Oct 27).
The accolade marks the first time a Singaporean bank clinched a top three spot in the world since TAB's ranking was introduced in 2023.
OCBC has also been named the strongest bank in Singapore and Asia Pacific in the same list.
The TAB Global 1,000 World's Largest and Strongest Bank ranking provides an annual assessment of the banking industry’s financial and business performance.
It evaluates banks across seven dimensions: sovereign risk, scale, balance sheet growth, risk profile, profitability, asset quality and liquidity.
Explaining the results, TAB Insights research director Christian Kapfer pointed out that OCBC's diversified earnings, sound asset quality and strong capital position distinguished it from many of its regional peers.
"Its ability to combine profitability with prudent balance sheet management has been an important factor in its financial strength," Kapfer said.
TAB's publication also highlighted the Singaporean lender's growth in wealth management, insurance and trading in 2025, which lifted its operating income to a record $14.6 billion.
It is also the top performer in the Straits Times Index (STI) this year, with its share price up by 48.6 per cent year-to-date as of Oct 23.
OCBC group CEO Tan Teck Long said its latest accolade reflects the resilience of the OCBC franchise, adding that such resilience is built on customer trust that endures over generations.
"We will continue to build on this strong foundation to create lasting value for our customers, communities and shareholders.”
The recognition comes after OCBC took the top spot among global banks in the inaugural World’s Top Performing Banks ranking developed by Forbes and Statista this September.
JPMorgan Chase and Saudi National Bank took the top and second spots in the TAB ranking.
DBS, Southeast Asia's and Singapore's largest lender by assets, placed 23rd on the list. Meanwhile, United Overseas Bank (UOB) ranked 187.
新加坡第二大银行华侨银行在《亚洲银行家》（TAB）周二（10月27日）发布的最新“全球1000家最强银行”排名中位列全球第三。
这是自 TAB 于 2023 年推出排名以来，新加坡银行首次跻身世界前三名。
在同一份榜单中，华侨银行也被评为新加坡和亚太地区最强大的银行。
TAB Global 1,000 全球最大最强银行排名对银行业财务和业务表现进行年度评估。
它从七个维度评估银行：主权风险、规模、资产负债表增长、风险状况、盈利能力、资产质量和流动性。
TAB Insights 研究总监 Christian Kapfer 在解释研究结果时指出，华侨银行多元化的盈利能力、良好的资产质量和强大的资本状况使其与许多区域同行区别开来。
“该公司能够将盈利能力与审慎的资产负债表管理相结合，这是其财务实力的重要因素，”卡普弗说。
TAB 的出版物还重点介绍了这家新加坡贷款机构在 2025 年的财富管理、保险和交易业务增长情况，这将使其营业收入达到创纪录的 146 亿美元。
它也是今年海峡时报指数（STI）中表现最佳的股票，截至 10 月 23 日，其股价今年迄今已上涨 48.6%。
华侨银行集团首席执行官陈德龙表示，该行获得的最新荣誉反映了华侨银行的韧性，并补充说，这种韧性建立在代代相传的客户信任之上。
“我们将继续巩固这一坚实基础，为我们的客户、社区和股东创造持久价值。”
此前，华侨银行在今年 9 月由福布斯和 Statista 联合发布的首届“全球最佳银行”排名中位列全球银行榜首。
摩根大通和沙特国民银行分别位列TAB排名榜首和第二名。
星展银行（DBS）是东南亚和新加坡资产规模最大的银行，位列榜单第23位。与此同时，大华银行（UOB）排名第187位。
