DBS’s mortgage customers and credit card customers are roughly three times as profitable as customers who use only the branch channel.
DBS estimates that its digital clients’ cost-income ratio is in the low 30s, against the mid-50s for traditional customers. Its digital customers’ return on equity is pushing 30%.

It was a good night too for UOB, taking home six awards, while Standard Chartered, Citi and Maybank all pocketed multiple awards.
