UBS + Credit Suisse — what changed in Singapore
On 12 June 2023, UBS completed its Swiss-government-brokered acquisition of Credit Suisse Group AG. In Singapore, UBS and Credit Suisse had operated overlapping private-banking franchises out of Marina Bay — both at the top of the non-Asian PB tier by AUM. The combined entity now operates as UBS AG, Singapore Branch and is the dominant non-Asian private bank in SG by AUM.
For practical purposes:
- Existing Credit Suisse Singapore client accounts have been migrated or are migrating onto UBS systems (phased through 2024–2025)
- Credit Suisse's strong entrepreneur + Greater China franchise has been folded into UBS Global Wealth Management
- UBS Singapore now operates the merged tier ladder (Wealth Advisory → Global Private Banking → Ultra-HNW)
- A material share of senior CS Asia relationship managers were retained at UBS; the rest moved to Julius Baer, Bank of Singapore, EFG, and other competitors (see CS-RM movement table)
Merged UBS Singapore tier ladder
| Tier | Minimum (Singapore) | Service profile |
|---|---|---|
| UBS Wealth Advisory | S$2 Million | Entry private-banking tier; full discretionary mandates |
| UBS Global Private Banking | S$5 Million+ | Full PB platform; structured credit; alternatives access |
| UBS Ultra-HNW | US$50 Million+ | Bespoke solutions; family-office desk; direct investments |
| UBS Global Family Office (GFO) | US$100M+ typical | Multi-jurisdictional FO platform; CS legacy multi-generation desk integrated |

What was Credit Suisse strong at, that UBS now inherits?
Credit Suisse Asia was particularly strong in entrepreneur banking (Greater China + ASEAN founders), structured-products / leveraged finance for HNW clients, and multi-generation Asian families. These franchises have been integrated into UBS Global Wealth Management. UBS's own strengths (sustainable investing, structured products, US-equity research, Swiss heritage) are unchanged.
