DBS says AI push is paying off as it shifts from efficiency tool to growth engine The time savings from the technology can be redeployed towards business expansion, says chief Tan Su Shan [SINGAPORE] Years of investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning helped to drive record deposit inflows, wealth growth and fee income for DBS in 2025, said chief executive officer Tan Su Shan. She said the bank&rsquo s use of AI-powered tools such as contextual nudges and automated customer engagement played a key role in attracting new-to-bank customers and driving volume growth. &ldquo This I can attribute to the hard work we&rsquo ve done over the years in using AI, using machine learning and contextual nudges to gather new-to-bank customers, to be customer-centric, to have our nudges automated and to use AI smartly,&rdquo she said at a results briefing on Monday (Feb 9). As AI becomes more deeply embedded into daily workflows, it will become harder to isolate the precise economic value it generates, but what &ldquo excites&rdquo DBS is its potential to free up employees for growth-oriented work, she added. &ldquo We might still try to capture the economic value (of AI) based on what we&rsquo ve been doing in the past, which is A/B testing, but I suspect there will be a lot more in terms of capacity building.&rdquo A/B testing is the comparison of outcomes between two groups &ndash one that uses an AI-driven solution and another that does not &ndash to measure the incremental impact of the technology. Tan was responding to media queries at DBS&rsquo fourth-quarter earnings call on the economic value that AI tools have delivered to South-east Asia&rsquo s largest bank. She noted that AI has compressed work that previously took months or even years into a matter of weeks, pointing to the area of technical debt &ndash a term that refers to the maintenance or fixing of outdated systems and code &ndash as an example. The time savings can then be redeployed towards business expansion, she said. &ldquo What excites us is the ability to use what we can harness from capacity (building) to then redeploy for growth.&rdquo More than 60 per cent of the lender&rsquo s staff are now &ldquo very actively&rdquo using its in-house generative AI tool, DBS GPT, Tan added. When the tool was rolled out last July, it was &ldquo not so good&rdquo , she acknowledged. But it has since got &ldquo better and better and better&rdquo , and is now being used across &ldquo myriad&rdquo applications. These include translation tasks, internal queries on the bank&rsquo s policies and procedures, as well as guidance on how employees should handle questions from both internal and external parties. In January, DBS told The Business Times that it recorded a one-third increase in economic value from its AI initiatives to S$1 billion in 2025, compared with S$750 million in 2024. The S$1 billion figure was derived by comparing outcomes between customers who were offered AI-driven solutions and those in a control group. Staff impact On workforce implications, DBS said in early 2025 that it would reduce about 4,000 contract and temporary roles over the next few years through natural attrition. For the lender, the interaction between humans and machines centres on training staff to use tools such as agentic AI safely, while leveraging the technology to expand capacity and shift employees into higher-order roles, said Tan. &ldquo We want people to feel safe, to learn and to use this new capacity &ndash this new superpower &ndash that you now have to do a higher-order role,&rdquo she added. For Q4 ended Dec 31, staff costs came in at S$1.38 billion, down from S$1.54 billion in the previous quarter. Part of the decline reflected lower bonuses accrued in Q4 compared with the stronger performance in Q3, chief financial officer Chng Sok Hui said at the same earnings call. |

DBS CEO Tan Su Shan urges investors to &lsquo buckle up&rsquo for volatile 2026 income outlook steady despite Q4 profit miss Q4 profit down 10% at S$2.26 billion pays higher S$0.81 per share in dividends [SINGAPORE] Investors should &ldquo buckle up&rdquo , as 2026 is shaping up to be a volatile year, said DBS chief executive Tan Su Shan. &ldquo (January) feels like a year condensed into a month, and people are getting used to such volatility,&rdquo Tan said at the lender&rsquo s fourth quarter 2025 results briefing on Monday (Feb 9). But she expects that the bank will continue to benefit from customers&rsquo search for safe havens, as the bank positions itself as a &ldquo safe, long-term, dependable and future-forward bank&rdquo . The CEO said: &ldquo We will maintain our cost, credit and operational discipline, and all this underpinned by continued work to make our tech resilient through automation and artificial intelligence.&rdquo Tan sees total income for 2026 to be around 2025 levels and net profit to come slightly below 2025 levels. Net interest income will likely be lower due to lower interest rates and a strong Singdollar, but this can be mitigated by a strong growth in deposits and volumes, she noted. As for commercial book non-interest income, it should see high-single-digit growth, led by mid-teens growth in its wealth management business, the CEO added at the briefing. Meanwhile, Tan forecasts cost-to-income ratio in the low 40 per cent range and specific provisions within 17 to 20 basis points (bps) of loans, with the potential for further general provision writeback. Q4 missed forecasts This comes as the lender posted a 10 per cent decline in Q4 net profit at S$2.26 billion, compared with S$2.52 billion from the year-ago period. Excluding the S$100 million set aside for corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments, net profit for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 would have been S$2.36 billion. This missed the S$2.59 billion consensus forecast in a Bloomberg survey of six analysts. Group net interest income was down 4 per cent to S$3.59 billion, as net interest margin fell 22 basis points to 1.93 per cent amid lower interest rates and a stronger Singdollar. This was mitigated by balance sheet hedges and strong deposit growth. Deposits rose 3 per cent during the quarter to S$610 billion, while loans were up 2 per cent to S$451 billion. As deposit growth outpaced loan growth, surplus deposits were deployed into high-quality liquid assets. Meanwhile, customer-driven non-interest income &ndash which includes fee income and treasury customer sales &ndash rose 13 per cent to S$1.58 billion. Fee income was up 12 per cent to S$1.38 billion, led by a 24 per cent growth in wealth management. The bank saw S$12 billion in net new money for Q4, bringing its asset under management for the year to S$488 billion. For the full year, net profit fell 3 per cent to S$10.93 billion, reflecting higher tax expenses from the consequential implementation of the 15 per cent global minimum tax. Excluding the S$100 million in CSR commitments, full-year net profit would have been S$11.03 billion, missing the S$11.27 billion consensus estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 15 analysts. FY2025 return on equity stood at 16.2 per cent, from 18 per cent for FY2024. Tan said the bank had the &ldquo perfect storm&rdquo in 2025, with lower interest rates, a strong Singdollar and higher tax rates. Yet it still managed to post record highs. Tan said she was &ldquo more pleased&rdquo with the record high volume, including deposit growth and net new money growth, as it signals structural growth. Full-year deposit growth of S$64 billion was the &ldquo strongest in history&rdquo , while net new money inflows for 2025 was a record S$39 billion. &ldquo This suggests that our engines are firing,&rdquo she said. Hong Kong real estate downgrade Meanwhile, the bank&rsquo s non-performing loans ratio for Q4 was at 1 per cent, down from 1.1 per cent a year earlier. Specific allowances in Q4 rose to 36 bps of loans, from 20 bps a year ago, as DBS made a &ldquo prudent downgrade&rdquo of a previously watch-listed Hong Kong real estate exposure. &ldquo We reviewed the credit and took a prudent decision to downgrade it to a non-performing loan, following our subjective default assessment,&rdquo said chief financial officer Chng Sok Hui. While the customer has already been watch-listed for two years, Chng said it has not defaulted yet. The bank also sets aside general allowances once a case has been put on the watch-list. These allowances would be released in the event the case is classified as a non-performing loan, she noted. With an additional S$2.4 billion in general allowance overlays, Tan noted that the general allowance reserves &ldquo remain sufficient&rdquo , and that the bank is &ldquo comfortable on our exposures&rdquo . For Q4, the lender declared an ordinary dividend of S$0.66 per share and a capital return dividend of S$0.15 per share. This brings the quarter&rsquo s total dividend payout to S$0.81 per share, compared with S$0.60 per share in the year-ago period. The latest payouts would bring total dividend for the year up 38 per cent to S$3.06 per share, comprising S$2.46 of ordinary dividends and S$0.60 of capital return dividends. DBS plans to continue paying its capital return dividend of S$0.15 per share per quarter for financial years 2026 and 2027, barring unforeseen circumstances. DBS : D05 -1.87% shares were down 1.9 per cent to S$58.19 at the close on Monday. |
