“We’ve started doing the work on seeing how we get in a sensible way, take it out, and expand it beyond the current investor base. And that includes making sure we appropriate thinking about things like potential fraud and others.” 

The bank will not be proceeding with the Bitcoin trading services unless it has put in place all that is necessary to provide a hitch-free service to all. Noting that digital currencies operate more differently compared to traditional banking services, the DBS CEO says the bank has to ensure that support services are optimized to accommodate the demand for the BTC services.

“What happens is that you’ve got 24/7, but the customers still need to call and speak to bankers. So the first order is to make it all online, make it self-service, make it instant, and make sure the internal processes are robust to be able to support that.”
