The newly-appointed figure has more than two decades' experience in private banking and asset management.

Bank of Singapore has brought back Bikram Sen as market head for Global South Asia and International. He is joining the firm from UBS.

Sen, who is based in Singapore, reports to Zubin Dabu, market group head for Global South Asia and International, BoS said in a statement yesterday.

With more than 20 years of experience in private banking and asset management, Bikram has served in senior leadership roles at Credit Suisse, Coutts, Standard Chartered, and most recently UBS, where he led the migration of the Credit Suisse non-resident India (NRI) business. Sen previously served at Bank of Singapore from 2013 to 2021 as team head for Global South Asia.

“We are delighted to welcome Bikram back to the Bank of Singapore family. His return speaks to the strength of our platform and the exciting growth journey that we are on,” Ranjit Khanna, Bank of Singapore’s head of private banking for Europe & Middle East and CEO of the DIFC branch, said.

Clients in the Global South Asian business are served via Dubai, Singapore and London. 

In recent developments, earlier this month BoS announced that it has rolled out an agentic AI-powered tool to automate a major part of the know-your-customer (KYC) due diligence process – verifying the legitimacy of clients’ wealth and transactions.
