OCBC Deputy President Retires

OCBC’s deputy president will retire after 22 years with the Singaporean bank. OCBC deputy president Ching Wei Hong will retire at the end of September, according to an exchange filing.

Ching first joined OCBC in November 1999 as head of transaction banking and has since held various senior roles including chief financial officer, chief operating officer and chairman of Bank of Singapore before being named deputy president in early 2020.

I am deeply grateful to Wei Hong for building a strong foundation upon which our wealth management and consumer banking businesses will grow from strength to strength. Please join me in wishing him a healthy and happy retirement, according to a report citing an email from chief executive Helen Wong.

Separately, the bank has appointed Sunny Quek as acting head of global consumer financial services, effective October 1, as well as director of OCBC Securities, subject to regulatory approval.

Quek will report to Wong and Bank of Singapore CEO Bahren Shaari. Quek is currently OCBC’s head of consumer financial services in Singapore.
