Headline monthly fee

General information, not financial, legal, or tax advice. Verify current terms and eligibility with the provider before applying.

No. As of 13 February 2026, OCBC does not offer business banking to companies based in Canada. OCBC is a Singapore headquartered bank that serves business customers through branches across Southeast Asia and Greater China, with no business banking presence in Canada.

Does OCBC Business serve business customers in Canada?

No. OCBC provides business banking through its operations in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, mainland China, Indonesia and other markets in Asia, with additional branches in places such as Australia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and London. It does not run a Canadian business banking operation, so a company registered and trading only in Canada cannot open an OCBC business account.

Eligibility for businesses in Canada

OCBC business accounts are opened in the markets where the bank operates, where a company is registered locally and meets that market rules. There is no Canadian registration path, so a business based only in Canada does not qualify. A company with operations in one of OCBC markets in Asia would apply there, not in Canada. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no local Canada pricing because OCBC does not offer a business account in Canada. OCBC publishes business account fees and balance requirements for each of its Asian markets in the local currency, such as the Singapore dollar and Malaysian ringgit. As of 13 February 2026

What local users report

There is no Canadian base of OCBC business account holders, since the bank does not operate business banking in Canada. Canadian companies that trade with Asia generally use a Canadian bank or a multi currency payments provider for cross border payments.

OCBC Business does not appear to serve business customers in Canada as of 13 February 2026, or the position is unclear. Verify directly with the provider. Providers confirmed available in Canada are listed on the Canada country guide.
