Bank Jago is Indonesia's first digital bank and primarily offers lifestyle financing, sharia banking, merchant financing and partnership business. It also collaborated with Gojek to integrate Jago as a cashless payment method on the Gojek app in Indonesia in July this year. The partnership follows Gojek’s investment in Bank Jago last year, and aims to provide Jago customers increased convenience when transacting on the Gojek app.

Separately, OCBC launched its "Simply spot on" campaign in November last year, which aimed to reach out to young mothers and young men in Singapore to provide financial planning services. The campaign aimed to let these target audiences know that even in tough times such as now, it is possible for them to balance both their needs and future aspirations. Done in collaboration with creative agency GOVT Singapore, the campaign execution consisted of two television commercials, one targeted at young mothers and another targeted at young men.
