Bank of Singapore has appointed Rickie Chan, who is currently the head of the bank’s head of Hong Kong branch, private banking (PB), for Greater China, as the branch’s chief executive (CE), with responsibility for its risk and governance.
Chan, who succeeds Cindy Wong, will also continue in his current role as head of PB for Greater China, the bank’s largest market after that of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation’s region.
An industry veteran, Chan joined Bank of Singapore on February 15 2024. He has over 28 years of experience in PB, wealth management and capital markets.
Before joining the bank, he was Credit Suisse’s CE of its Hong Kong branch and the head of global wealth management for Greater China. Under his leadership at Credit Suisse, Chan helped to transform the Hong Kong market into one of the fastest-growing markets in Asia-Pacific. He has also held several senior leadership roles in Barclays Bank and Goldman Sachs’ private wealth management department in Hong Kong.
“Chan is an outstanding leader with a proven track record of success that inspires trust and confidence,” says Jason Moo, CEO of Bank of Singapore. “His deep knowledge of the business environment and regulatory landscape in Greater China, combined with his extensive experience, will be invaluable in driving the continued growth of our Hong Kong hub to strengthen the bank’s position as a leading wealth manager in Asia.”
