OCBC has announced that Tan Teck Long will become Group Chief Executive Officer on 1 January 2026, succeeding Helen Wong, who will retire on 31 December 2025 after serving as Group CEO since 2021\. Tan currently leads the bank's global wholesale banking division.

#### DEPUTY CEO ROLE

OCBC appointed Tan to the additional role of deputy CEO with immediate effect. 

#### HELEN WONG RETIRES AFTER FOUR-YEAR TENURE

Helen Wong rejoined OCBC in February 2020 as deputy president and head of global wholesale banking and became Group CEO in April 2021\. 

Wong will remain chairman of OCBC China and a director of OCBC Hong Kong after retiring. OCBC chairman Andrew Lee said the board had 'reluctantly accepted' Wong's request to retire to spend more time with her family, and had 'unanimously agreed' that Tan was the best candidate to take the helm.
