How does DBS Group Holdings compare with its peers on AI and technology?

DBS scores 85.5 on this site's global AI disclosure index, #10 of 140 banks and third in its nine-bank peer group, behind HSBC (88.5) and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (88.2) and ahead of Lloyds (83.6), Standard Chartered (79.6), BBVA (77.2), OCBC (73.4), MUFG (73) and ING (65.2). The score measures what is on the record, not capability. Three things separate DBS from named peers. First, it puts a number on what AI earns: about SGD 1 billion of economic value in 2025 from more than 2,000 models and 430 use cases, up from more than SGD 750 million in 2024, while CBA reports about A$200 million of measured gross benefits in FY26 and Lloyds about £50 million from generative AI in 2025. Second, its corporate assistant DBS Joy became fully agentic in Singapore in July 2026 for 350,000 corporate users; OCBC's avatar app was in beta with 50 invited clients from July 2026. Third, outside coverage: DBS leads the group on independent sources, and Global Finance named it World's Best AI Bank in October 2025. Where DBS trails: about seven in 10 staff used Gen AI tools in May 2026, against about 80% weekly AI use at CBA (June 2026) and about 85% of HSBC colleagues enabled (February 2026); it set no 2026 AI value target; the 2026 Evident AI Index calls CBA the only Asia-Pacific bank in its top 10; and HSBC and CBA have appointed chief AI officers while DBS's chief analytics officer of nine years left for Lloyds in 2026.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

Where does DBS lead its peers on AI?

01

The longest-running AI value series in the group

DBS has reported AI economic value for several years: more than SGD 750 million in 2024 and about SGD 1 billion in 2025, measured by test and control. CBA began reporting measured gross benefits in FY26 (about A$200 million), Lloyds put generative AI at about £50 million in 2025, and MUFG an estimated ¥20.7 billion by FY2025.[2][1][15][3][4][16]

02

An agentic assistant for corporate clients at scale

DBS Joy went fully agentic in Singapore in July 2026 for 350,000 corporate users, with Hong Kong next, and DBS says Joy and digibot reach more than 10 million customers. HSBC's Corporate and Institutional Banking servicing assistant supports 3 million client interactions a year; OCBC's WoW app was in beta for 50 invited wealth clients.[5][17][18][6]

03

Staff-built agents counted and disclosed

Tan Su Shan said staff had built about 10,000 personal agents inside DBS-GPT by May 2026, and Forbes Asia put the figure near 26,000 in August. MUFG says its bank staff created more than 1,800 custom GPTs in four months; BBVA reports more than 20,000 custom GPTs on ChatGPT Enterprise.[8][19][20][21]

04

Most independent coverage and awards in the group

DBS ranks first of nine on the independent-sources component of this site's index. Global Finance named it World's Best AI Bank in October 2025 and Euromoney named it Asia's Best Digital Bank for AI leadership in July 2026, citing about SGD 1 billion of value from more than 2,000 models.[7][22]

Where does DBS trail its peers on AI?

01

Lower staff adoption than the leaders

About seven in 10 DBS employees used Gen AI tools in May 2026 (1.8 million prompts a month). CBA reports about 80% weekly AI use (June 2026), HSBC about 85% of colleagues enabled with a gen-AI tool (February 2026), and BBVA about 100,000 employees on ChatGPT Enterprise with 70%-plus weekly use (June 2026).[8][23][9][21]

02

No forward AI value target

Tan said in August 2026 that DBS has no 2026 target for AI value because generative and agentic gains are hard to isolate. CBA expects its measured AI benefits to double in FY27 and exceed investment; Lloyds expects more than £100 million from generative and agentic AI in 2026; MUFG expects nearly ¥40 billion by the end of FY2026.[10][3][24][25]

03

No named chief AI officer

DBS ranks eighth of nine on named AI leaders. HSBC appointed David Rice its first group chief AI officer from April 1, 2026, and CBA hired Ranil Boteju as Chief AI Officer and a Chief AI Scientist in 2026; DBS's chief analytics officer Sameer Gupta left for Lloyds in 2026 and the sources reviewed name no successor in that title.[12][13][26][14]

04

Outside the Evident top 10

The 2026 Evident AI Index, published October 6, 2026, kept Commonwealth Bank of Australia fourth globally and called it the only Asia-Pacific bank in the top 10. Lloyds says it ranked 15th in the index, up from 27th a year earlier.[11][27]

Where does DBS rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from reference score: the AI-index formula applied to all 140 profiles (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

How does DBS's disclosed AI value compare with what its peers publish?

Each bank's own figure and definition. DBS measures economic value by test and control; others report gross benefits, cumulative estimates or value from generative AI only, so compare scope as well as size.

How do DBS, OCBC and UOB describe their AI?

The Business Times compared the three Singapore banks after their second-quarter 2026 results and found DBS had gone furthest in framing AI as a revenue generator, using it for idea generation and to prompt customers with relevant opportunities. OCBC's chief executive Tan Teck Long said 'We don't really have an AI strategy per se', placing AI inside the bank's broader digitisation, data and AI strategy. UOB said more than 30,000 employees had Microsoft Copilot, more than 300 use cases were live and staff generated more than 400,000 Copilot prompts a month, but it is not yet putting a dollar figure on the benefits.[105]

The banks also differ on jobs. DBS expects about 4,000 contract and temporary roles to go over three years and said in November 2025 it would not hire for roles AI will replace; OCBC says AI will increase relationship-manager hiring rather than cut staff, and plans 600 more relationship managers over three years. All three took part in the MAS MindForge AI risk-management toolkit published in March 2026, which carries a DBS case study.[108][109][104][110]

Which banks are DBS's peers, and why these?

DBS Group Holdings is compared here with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, Standard Chartered, HSBC, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., BBVA, Lloyds Banking Group and ING Groep N.V.: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). DBS Group Holdings is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank headquartered in Singapore.

The computed group put DBS beside North American and UK retail lenders (TD, BMO, NatWest), so this page compares it with the banks it meets in Singapore, Hong Kong and Asian wealth and transaction banking (OCBC, Standard Chartered, HSBC, MUFG) and with the retail-led groups that, like DBS, publish what their AI is worth (Commonwealth Bank of Australia, BBVA, Lloyds, ING).

Is DBS better than OCBC at AI?

The record cannot settle capability. On disclosure, DBS scores 85.5 on this site's global index (#10 of 140) against OCBC's 73.4 (#37). DBS publishes a value figure, about SGD 1 billion in 2025; OCBC publishes a technology budget of more than S$1 billion a year and task-level results, such as source-of-wealth reports cut from up to 10 days to about an hour.[1][52][54]

Which bank has the better AI assistant, DBS or OCBC?

They serve different clients. DBS Joy is an agentic assistant for 350,000 corporate users in Singapore, and DBS says Joy and digibot reach more than 10 million customers. OCBC's WoW is an avatar app for wealthy Premier Private Client customers, in beta with 50 invited customers from July 2026.[5][6]

How does DBS's AI value compare with Commonwealth Bank's?

DBS reports about SGD 1 billion of economic value from data analytics and AI in 2025, measured by test and control across more than 2,000 models. CBA reports about A$200 million of measured gross benefits from AI use cases in FY26 and expects that to double in FY27. The definitions differ, so the figures are not like for like.[1][15][3]

How does DBS compare with HSBC on AI?

HSBC scores 88.5 on this site's index against DBS's 85.5. HSBC reports about 85% of colleagues enabled with a gen-AI tool and has a group chief AI officer since April 2026; DBS reports about seven in 10 staff using Gen AI tools and is the only one of the two to publish a value figure for its AI.[9][12][8][1]

How does DBS's technology spending compare with its peers?

DBS does not publish a separate AI budget; Tan Su Shan said in August 2026 that technology spending is about 10% of revenue and roughly flat. OCBC expects to spend more than S$1 billion a year on technology over the next three years, and MUFG expects AI investment during its current plan to exceed ¥70 billion.[111][52][25]

Which AI models does DBS use compared with Standard Chartered?

DBS says it is model-agnostic and uses 'US, Chinese, everything'; Computer Weekly reported its customer-service assistant runs on Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude. Standard Chartered's CEO said in July 2026 that the bank uses almost exclusively Chinese models in China and Western models elsewhere, and it has a strategic memorandum with Alibaba Cloud.[10][112][113][114]

Is DBS cutting more jobs because of AI than its peers?

DBS expects about 4,000 contract and temporary roles to go over three years through attrition. Standard Chartered targets more than 15% fewer corporate-function roles by 2030, which Reuters calculated at more than 7,000 jobs. OCBC says AI will increase relationship-manager hiring, with 600 planned over three years.[108][115][65][104]
