Does OCBC Business serve business customers in Germany?

No. OCBC provides business current accounts, multi currency accounts and trade and treasury services through its units in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Greater China. Each unit requires a business registered in that market and serves customers there. OCBC does not operate a business banking service for companies registered in Germany, so a German company cannot open an OCBC business account. As of 3 February 2026.

Eligibility for businesses in Germany

OCBC business accounts are opened through its Asian units, each with its own rules. The Singapore accounts are for businesses registered in Singapore, the Malaysian eBiz account is restricted to businesses wholly owned by Malaysian or Singaporean citizens registered with the local authority, and the Hong Kong unit serves businesses connected to Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and South East Asia. A business registered only in Germany does not meet any of these requirements. As of 3 February 2026. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no local Germany pricing because OCBC does not offer business accounts to companies registered in Germany. Fees apply to its Asian business accounts and vary by unit, account type and currency. The euro and a German IBAN are not offered to German registered businesses. As of 3 February 2026. As of 3 February 2026

What local users report

There is no established base of Germany business users, since OCBC business banking serves Asian markets. Businesses in Germany that trade with Asia generally use a local German account together with a cross border payments provider. As of 3 February 2026, confirm the current position with each provider before relying on it.
