About DBS

DBS is a leading financial services group in Asia. We are headquartered in Singapore, with a growing presence in Greater China, Southeast Asia and South Asia.

We were named the Best Bank in the World by Global Finance in August 2018—the first Singapore and Asian bank to receive this honour.

We want our customers to Live more, Bank less. And we want to make banking invisible.

Every day, there’s a lot more to explore, experience and enjoy—and a lot less time to do it in. That’s why we’ve created banking that’s fast, natural, effortless. Banking that’s with you wherever life takes you, instead of taking you away from life. So you can enjoy a lot more life, with a lot less bank.

About the design team

Hi, we are the DBS user experience design team

We create digital products that deserve to be built because they solve real problems in an impactful way with empathy.

How we design

We go beyond numbers

Every dollar means something. No one actually wants money. We want what it can give us. So we acknowledge that money is not really about money. We inject emotion into our products to go from transactional to magical.

We have one profound idea

Because ambiguity is the enemy of good user experience. What is our unique value proposition? Would adding another feature dilute the idea or make it stronger?
