OCBC

I am amazed at the huge presence that OCBC has at Orchard Gateway. Not only do they have the premier banking on the first floor, but they also have the «regular» banking (for all the thousandaires like me) and this weird concept called «Frank». I’m a bit confused what it entails, but it appears to be trying to attract younger folks with their hipster interior. I’ve also seen them do events in the space, but for what? I’m not sure.
The regular bank has all the amenities you need — ATM’s, tellers, and associates that can advise on whatever issues you’re having. They apparently offer free wifi at this branch, but I wasn’t able to connect to it.
Migs and I were depositing our security deposit check from our old apartment and ran into an issue– long story short, the names on the check and the bank account didn’t match exactly and there was a possibility the check would bounce. Fortunately, Joel, the teller, was able to find a solution for us to decrease the possibility of the check bouncing. We appreciated his help, as in the past we’ve dealt with tellers who didn’t take the time to look into alternative solutions.
TL;DR — good branch in a central location!
