The International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) has announced OCBC as its newest member.
Headquartered in Singapore, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) is the second largest financial services group in Southeast Asia by assets.
The Group offers a broad array of commercial banking, specialist financial and wealth management services, ranging from consumer, corporate, investment, private and transaction banking to treasury, insurance, asset management, and stockbroking services.
OCBC has expanded its presence in securities finance through its capital markets and treasury activities, including fixed income and derivatives trading, money market operations, and broader financing solutions.
In January 2026, it established a dedicated securities financing unit to deepen the suite of solutions for institutional customers.
The firm also rolled out a securities lending programme for OCBC Securities and Bank of Singapore clients, enabling customers to earn fee income on idle holdings while retaining flexibility over their assets.
Commenting on the news, ISLA says: “We look forward to collaborating with OCBC on shared priorities across securities lending, financing, liquidity, and market efficiency.”
