SINGAPORE -- Southeast Asia's three biggest banks are all based in Singapore. And they are ready for regional integration.
The three largest banks in terms of market capitalization -- DBS Group Holdings, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. and United Overseas Bank -- benefit from being headquartered in Southeast Asia's financial center. Their location provides them with more revenue opportunities than conventional banking. Their home market, the small city-state, also pushed them to look elsewhere for growth earlier.
