2. Operating model
OCBC’s business-banking international page describes its Tokyo branch as serving corporate and institutional banking customers in Japan, with products including corporate lending, trade finance, deposits, and remittance services. The same page lists the Sanno Park Tower Tokyo main-branch address.
This makes OCBC’s Japan profile closer to ASEAN / Greater China cross-border wholesale banking than to Japanese consumer banking.
3. Why this page matters
- Adds a second Singapore P0 branch next to dbs-bank-japan and uob-bank-japan.
- Supports Japan-ASEAN bank-branch mapping for corporate lending and trade finance.
- Keeps Singapore bank branches distinct instead of treating them as one Southeast Asia bucket.
