Singapore big three banks to sustain strong dividends in 2026: report
https://asianbankingandfinance.net/retail-banking/news/singapore-big-three-banks-sustain-strong-dividends-in-2026-report

• Status:  DBS has reportedly revised its application to Bank Negara Malaysia to acquire up to a  30% stake  in Alliance Bank Malaysia Bhd, down from an initial 49% request to better align with local ownership regulations.
• Strategic Rationale:  This would establish a significant footprint for DBS in Malaysia, where its primary Singaporean rivals already have a presence. 

• Target Markets:  Should activist pressure or strategic reviews lead Standard Chartered to divest certain regional units, DBS is viewed as a prime candidate for its India and Dubai  businesses. PLEASE GO TO ALL MY POSTS ABOUT THE SPECULATIONS OF DBS TAKING OVER A STAKE IN SCB VIA FATHER TEMASAK, even now The Edge also copycat the gangsters view.
• Strategic Goal:  These assets align with DBS' s focus on growing its  wealth management  Assets Under Management (AUM) and fee income. 

• Target:  DBS is aiming to manage  S$500 billion  in wealth assets by the end of 2026.
• Focus:  The bank is actively seeking ' bolt-on' deals similar to its past acquisitions of Citi Taiwan or ANZ' s retail business, specifically targeting the  affluent segment  (clients with S$1 million+ in assets). 

• Direction:  Under new CEO Tan Su Shan, DBS is prioritizing acquisitions that enhance its  digital and AI infrastructure  to maintain its ' future-forward' positioning.
• Market Position:  DBS intends to act as the ' picks and shovels' for the digital asset ecosystem, looking for targets that can bolster its issuance, trading, and custody services. 

• Status:  Following the Singapore government' s 2024 intervention to block the Allianz deal, DBS is viewed as the ' natural candidate' to step in as a local white knight. A 2026 deal would require DBS to navigate the newly amended  Insurance Act, which mandates that any buyer must strictly preserve the insurer' s social mission.
• Strategic Rationale:  Unlike OCBC and UOB, DBS does not currently own a captive insurance subsidiary. Acquiring Income would bridge this competitive gap, allowing DBS to internalize insurance manufacturing and gain direct access to a massive domestic customer base while fulfilling a national role in maintaining affordable insurance for Singaporeans.

• CEO Stance:  Tan Su Shan has emphasized that M& A decisions are long-term and must be  appropriately priced  and easily integrated.
• Financial Flexibility:  With a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of  17.0%, DBS has the financial capacity to move from defensive positioning to ' targeted expansion' in 2026. 

• DBS PayLah! & UnionPay:  DBS PayLah! users can now scan to pay at over 40 million UnionPay QR Code-enabled merchants in China, treating it as a local payment method with automatic currency conversion.
• DBS UnionPay Platinum Debit Card:  This card is specifically designed for China travel, offering benefits such as:
  • Up to 8% cashback  on spending in China through March 31, 2026.
  • 3% transaction fee waiver  when the card is linked to your Alipay or WeChat Pay account for single transactions above RMB 200.
  • Zero fees  on overseas ATM cash withdrawals.
• Integration with Alipay & WeChat Pay:  DBS/POSB credit and debit cards can be linked to both  Alipayand WeChat Pay apps, allowing users to pay seamlessly at millions of merchants who use these popular local mobile payment apps.
• DBS Remit to Alipay:  You can send money to Alipay wallets in China with S$0 fees using DBS Remit via the digibank app, with same-day transfers available to a recipient' s mobile number.
• Digital Yuan (e-CNY) Pilot:  In a significant development, Singapore and China have launched a pilot program allowing Singapore travelers to open and top up digital RMB wallets (e-CNY) for merchant payments in China. This aims to make payments even more convenient for tourists.
• RMB Clearing Bank:  DBS has been appointed as Singapore' s second Renminbi clearing bank, which will help further grow the offshore RMB market and facilitate trade and investment between the two countries. 

many people woke up and keep asking why why why..... looks like they missed the forest for the tree..... well, seek and u will know, ask and we will tell.... still think $100 is not possible? Well, my Treasures RM told me, its own DBS Research ownself predicted ownself price target to hit above sixty next year.....if coming from that, imo sure to come true one... it cannot publish its own company report but it' s a open secret to most DBS vip clients..... believe or not believe , we couldn' t be bothered....

DBS Secures Landmark RMB Clearing Role
https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/dbs-appointed-singapores-second-renminbi-clearing-bank-2025-12-15/

• Strategic Bilateral Ties:  The appointment was announced during the Singapore-China Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) meeting, underscoring its importance as a government-level initiative to deepen financial connectivity.
• Enhanced Market Position:  DBS becomes the first Singapore-based bank to hold this role (alongside the existing Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Singapore branch), materially strengthening its relevance in facilitating regional capital flows and enhancing Singapore' s offshore RMB infrastructure.
• Growing RMB Usage:  The development is well-timed with growing demand from corporations and investors seeking to diversify currency risk and manage geopolitical volatility by increasing their use of the RMB. 

• Direct Onshore Liquidity Access:  The clearing bank status gives DBS direct access to China' s onshore RMB liquidity pools. This access is critical for providing clients with enhanced settlement capabilities and deeper liquidity, which were previously more challenging to obtain efficiently.
• Expanded Service Offerings:  DBS can now offer a comprehensive suite of RMB-related services across both onshore and offshore markets, including payments, liquidity management, and access to RMB-denominated financial instruments.
• Increased Market Access for Clients:  The new capabilities, combined with the separate approval for DBS to participate in China' s onshore over-the-counter (OTC) bond market, will create a seamless bridge for international investors to tap into China' s domestic bond market and other opportunities.
• New Revenue Streams:  Facilitating increased cross-border trade, investment, and treasury activities will drive growth in transaction banking, foreign exchange, and wealth management fees, contributing to the bank' s diversified income streams.

These projections indicate a strong belief in the bank' s long-term growth trajectory. 

1. Strong Financial Performance:  DBS achieved a historic S$100 billion market cap in May 2025. Strong profitability, high return on equity (ROE),                                                         and increased dividends reflect a solid balance sheet.
2. Wealth Management & Digital Strategy:  Significant wealth management growth and a " digital-first" strategy leveraging AI enhance efficiency and                                           competitive advantage.
3. Regional Dominance:  As a leading and highly-rated bank in Asia (raped " Safest Bank in Asia" for 17 consecutive years), DBS is well-positioned to                                             leverage regional economic growth and wealth migration.
4. Resilience and Regulation:  Singapore' s strict regulations provide stability, enabling the bank to weather macroeconomic challenges effectively.

1. Market Sensitivity: As a cyclical business, DBS is sensitive to macroeconomic shifts and interest rate changes.
2. Valuation Debate: While long-term fundamentals are strong, the stock' s current premium valuation leads to short-term overvaluation                                                                 discussions among analysts.
