“We would also like to thank the MAS and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for their continued support and guidance,” said HDFC Bank Group Head - International Banking, Investment Banking, Private Banking, Digital Ecosystems and BaaS, Rakesh Singh in a statement.


The branch was inaugurated by Rakesh Singh, in the presence of HDFC Bank Singapore Chief Executive Officer, Gaurav Khandelwal, and other senior management personnel.
