OCBC has appointed Melvyn Low as its Group Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, according to The Business Times.
Effective 10 November, he will shape the group’s long-term strategy and identify new growth opportunities.
Low will continue to lead the global transaction banking division, which he has headed since 2018.
Under his leadership, the business doubled its total income in five years and exceeded its Greater China target ahead of schedule, securing nearly 600 mandates by mid-2025.
With more than three decades in banking, Low has held senior roles in cash management, trade, and securities services across regional and international institutions.
He helped drive OCBC’s digital solutions for corporate clients and was a key figure behind the 2021 PayNow–PromptPay cross-border linkage between Singapore and Thailand.
He is also a Distinguished Fellow of the Institute of Banking and Finance, co-chairs the steering committee governing PayNow cross-border linkages, and sits on the boards of NETS and the Singapore Trade Data Exchange.
