OCBC Bank will be ramping up its Digital Silvers programme with the aim of upskilling 2,000 elderly customers from now until the end of the year. Given this ambitious target, the bank will increase the frequency of its workshops from around twice a month to thrice a week. In addition, it will leverage all 30 of its personal banking branches islandwide to do so, up from the 10 heartland branches that have been part of the programme thus far.

To date, the programme has already benefited more than 300 elderly customers since its launch in September last year. Given this enthusiastic response, the bank is well on its way to achieving its initial target of 400 elderly customers by June 2023 – a goal announced during the programme’s launch.
