For many of Hong Kong’s high-flying executives and entrepreneurs alike, Central is already part of their working day.
asserted
Central → fly → day
That proximity is part of the reason why OCBC has chosen the prime location of 35 Queen’s Road Central for its Central Branch.
asserted
OCBC → choose → Branch
Here, clients can access wealth management services close to where they work or spend their time, in a cosy, private setting, while eligible Premier Private Clients can also access health and wellness support available in the same building.
asserted
Clients → access → building
Fewer separate journeys can leave more time for work, family and life outside both.
asserted
journeys → leave → both
The opening also comes as the role of the brick-and-mortar bank branch is now very different from what it was even less than a decade ago.
asserted
it → come → what
As everyday transactions can now be handled easily and securely through digital channels, the value of physical branches increasingly lies in conversations that benefit from professional advice, privacy and trust.
asserted
that → handle → advice
For affluent clients, that can mean discussing investments, succession or other important financial needs face to face.
asserted
that → mean → face
OCBC’s Central Branch is taking an early lead in this direction, combining private advisory and meeting spaces with hospitality, lifestyle offerings, while selected wellness services are available to eligible Premier Private Clients.

services → take → Clients
Reimagining the branch experience
Held on September 29, the grand opening was attended by senior management, government and business leaders, partners and singer-songwriter Hanjin Tan.

The occasion also marked the introduce of its new Premier Private Client Centre and the unveiling of a 3D LED display wall on the building façade.

occasion → mark → façade
With the addition of its newly opened second and third floors, the expanded premises give OCBC considerably more room to rethink what eligible Premier Private clients can do during a branch visit.
asserted
clients → open → visit
The approach also draws on OCBC’s Singapore origins and long presence in Hong Kong.
asserted
approach → draw → Kong
That relationship is expressed in its latest campaign, “A Tale of Two Cities, For Your Wealth and Beyond”, which presents the two financial centres as complementary bases for serving clients whose business, wealth and families may increasingly cross borders.
uncertain
business → express → borders
Until October 31, visitors can photograph the display from a designated location outside Loke Yew Building at 50–52 Queen’s Road Central, with at least one of the cat, dog or monkey characters visible.
asserted
one → photograph → characters
After posting the photos on Facebook, Instagram, WeChat or Xiaohongshu with the specified campaign hashtags, visitors can redeem a limited-edition OCBC character blind box at the Central Branch, subject to terms and conditions.
asserted
visitors → post → terms
The installation gives passers-by a reason to interact with the branch even without a banking appointment, while the blind box turns the digital characters into something tangible.
asserted
box → give → something
A Hong Kong story with Singapore roots
Tan’s career has crossed the same two cities that OCBC uses for its regional proposition, allowing the campaign to talk about wealth through personal ambition, family and long-term planning instead of financial products alone.
asserted
campaign → cross → ambition
“The sense of being at home, the trust, and the peace of mind are what OCBC Premier Private Client offers,” said Tan, who is also an OCBC Premier Private Client, at the Central Branch grand opening.
asserted
who → offer → opening
The new Premier Private Client Centre occupies the second and third floors of the Central Branch, with Singapore-inspired interiors, private meeting areas and a garden terrace.

Through its “Navigating Your Wealth & Wellness Together” proposition, OCBC offers eligible Premier Private Clients access to personalised wealth management, wellness privileges, regional banking, lifestyle experiences and legacy planning services.
