In July 2019, DBS became the first bank in the world to concurrently hold three of the most prestigious global best bank honors from Euromoney, Global Finance, and The Banker. In June 2023, DBS Private Bank launched the DBS Multi Family Office Foundry VCC, the world's first bank-backed multi-family office leveraging Singapore's Variable Capital Company (VCC) structure, offering ultra-high-net-worth families an alternative option to manage their wealth in Singapore.
