We want to talk about the banking sector and in particular the digital banking sector which has gained traction in recent years. 

You may be familiar with Grab and Singtel’s GXS, Sea Group’s MariBank, as well as Standard Chartered and FairPrice Group backed Trust Bank. 

Aside from these banks catering to retail customers, Singapore also has two wholesale digital banks, namely Ant Group’s ANEXT Bank and Green Link Digital Bank, catering to SMEs and non-retail customers. 

But what is the wholesale banking landscape right now, and how are industry players positioning themselves to gain a foothold in this field? What do the recent volatilities in the banking sector mean for wholesale banks targeting SMEs? 

On Under the Radar, Drive TIme’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Su Mei Toh, CEO, ANEXT Bank for more.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) slid 0.3 per cent to 3,707.72 points after 80.6 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Jardine Cycle and Carriage, after the investment holding company announced yesterday that earnings for the first nine months of the year were down slightly year on year.
