Bangkok--25 Jan--Asian Banker
DBS will be the first bank to open a branch at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). In addition to the branch, a network of 17 ATMs and 4 AXS stations will be set-up within the Resort. DBS will also provide transactional banking services for the resort’s operations and support its employee benefits programme. The DBS RWS branch will have meeting rooms instead of counters so that customers can transact with added privacy. From April, customers can look forward to extended banking hours; from 10am to 8pm on Mondays to Saturdays, and on Sundays from 11am to 6pm. A DBS Treasures Centre will also open within the branch for priority banking customers after Chinese New Year.
"We are very happy to have DBS as our Official Banking Partner. As a home-grown financial institution and the largest bank in Singapore, we are confident that DBS will provide excellent banking services to various segments of our clientele," said Mr Tan Hee Teck, Chief Executive Officer of Resorts World Sentosa.
In partnership with RWS, DBS will offer full banking services and special privileges such as discounted entry prices to selected attractions and dining privileges for all the DBS / POSB cardholders at over 60 food and beverage outlets within the resort. The DBS RWS branch will officially open on 25 January 2010.
DBS Managing Director of Consumer Banking Singapore, Mr Jeremy Soo said, "DBS is proud to mark another Singapore milestone. As Singapore's largest bank, we are pleased to partner Resorts World Sentosa to bring the benefits of our branch and electronic banking services to the door-step of both residents and visitors in Sentosa."
