Management Associate Programme

“Whilst banking has changed significantly since I joined the MAP in 2012. I would have never imagined working in six different roles across two countries, enabling me to build incredible relationships and gain a very diverse understanding of the bank. From the experience of graduating at our CEO's house to working on fascinating projects transforming capital markets today, it has always reminded me to keep an open mind. To be adventurous in exploring new ideas yet courageous to fail and learn quickly.”

Andrew Nardi, 2012 Management Associate

“In 2019, I represented the Hong Kong team and travelled to Singapore to attend the regional customer service conference. I had the opportunity to present to our Group CEO on how could we leverage data to improve the user experience of our products and services. It has definitely been one of the highlights of my career with the Bank so far.” 

Yuki Lam, 2019 Graduate Associate

“After graduating from university, I had an extensive background in both statistics and data science, and I wanted to apply my knowledge in an actual working environment. The DBS Graduate Associate Programme provided me with the opportunity to achieve this. Through data analytics and customer science, I helped to create a landscape of the Bank’s API customer portfolio by using data. This provided our management with insights to assess business performance and drive business decisions.”
