VP Bank has announced that it is continuing its strategic push into Asia. In spite of the uncertainty from the global pandemic, VP Bank’s Singapore Branch has added five key front office hires to its Singapore office this year, including three senior relationship managers. The new members of the team will be a part of VP Bank’s growing presence in Asia and will further its expansion in the region.

Wealth Management continues to be a much-needed resource in Asia and VP Bank Singapore Branch’s strategic hires will ensure that the bank continues to offer its intermediaries and private banking clientele in Asia access to strong banking and finance professionals in the field.

Sean Chee joins VP Bank Singapore as a Business Development Manager for the Intermediaries team. His vast experience covers both the Wealth Management and the Asian Intermediary space, having worked for Credit Suisse, Citigroup and Julius Baer in Singapore.

Christopher Shi and Howard Wang will complement the Private Banking team in their roles as senior Relationship Manager covering the Southeast Asian region.

Over the last two decades, Shi has worked in the Wealth Management industry for the likes of UOB, ANZ and Julius Baer. Wang joined VP Bank from HSBC Private Bank earlier this year, where he spent the last 19 years managing the fortunes of the Southeast Asian wealthy.

In the last six months, the bank has added a total of 11 front office hires, including seven senior relationship managers to its stable. Bruno Morel, CEO, VP Bank Singapore, said: “Asia is an important growth market for wealth management. VP Bank continues to grow our presence in Asia with a strong pool of talents and I look forward to them contributing significantly to support our Asia aspirations.”
