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

No. As of 21 January 2026 OCBC does not offer a business account to companies registered in India. OCBC is a Singapore headquartered bank whose business banking serves its key markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Greater China, and a business registered only in India cannot open an OCBC business current account. Verify the current position with the provider.

Does OCBC Business serve business customers in India?

No. OCBC, the Oversea Chinese Banking Corporation, is a Singapore based bank whose business banking is built around its key markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Greater China. It does not market or open business current accounts for companies registered in India. While OCBC supports international trade and payments for clients in its served markets, that is not the same as an India registered business being able to open an OCBC business account. As of 21 January 2026.

Eligibility for businesses in India

OCBC opens business accounts for entities registered in the markets it serves, with KYC and KYB on the company, its directors and beneficial owners. A company registered only in India is outside these markets and does not qualify for an OCBC business current account. An Indian group that operates a Singapore entity may apply through that entity instead. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no India price list because OCBC does not offer business accounts to India registered companies. Fees for OCBC business accounts apply to its served markets, such as Singapore, and vary by account and by service. As of 21 January 2026

What local users report

Indian groups that bank with OCBC usually do so through a Singapore or other regional entity rather than an Indian one. For a purely India registered business there is no OCBC business account to open, so most Indian companies use a domestic bank or an international provider that onboards Indian entities.

OCBC Business does not appear to serve business customers in India as of 21 January 2026, or the position is unclear. Verify directly with the provider. Providers confirmed available in India are listed on the India country guide.
