Even the smallest of ripples can transform to be the biggest waves in the ocean–and a similar mindset is driving Green Link Digital Bank (GLDB), Singapore’s newest wholesale digital-only bank, which announced its soft launch in June.
“We adopt the Chinese principle of ‘勤为善小、行无 止境’ (Be kind. Be diligent. Be persistent.) as our corporate tenet, which translates to the bank’s unyielding commitment to every client, no matter its size, as even the smallest deeds can have rippling implications for the wider ecosystem,” Goh Soon Hong, executive director and CEO of GLDB, told Singapore Business Review in an interview. “This is the cornerstone of our corporate values.”
Green Link Digital Bank’s name combines its two shareholders, Greenland Group and Linklogis. It is one of the four digital bank license winners from the 29 entities that vied for a license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), snagging one of the only two licenses for a wholesale digital bank in the city.
