What comes to your mind when you think about banking in Singapore? You will probably envision the cold brick and mortar facade of its branches with straight faced bankers facilitating your requested transactions and giving you the cold hard facts when it comes to your savings, investments or insurance. DBS hope to challenge your perspectives with their passionate bankers who dare to go the extra mile for their customers. 

Inspired by true stories, SPARKS follows a group of bankers as they navigate work and their personal lives. Through the series, DBS hopes to offer you more intimate insights into banking, show the softer side of bankers and challenge the perception that banking is only about transactions. As you view the episodes, you will be touched by how bankers value relationships and go above and beyond for their clients. They stand by their clients through difficult times and come up with innovative solutions to help them when they are faced with challenges. 

The SPARKS series reflects the bank’s commitment to understanding what matters in life. They are committed to continuously look for new ways to redefine banking and SPARKS is one of their ways of disrupting the industry by creating products and services so simple, fast and smart that they fit into your life effortlessly.
