With unique features like Know Better and Invest Better, LiveBetter in the DBS digibank HK app aims to remove the barriers and customer inertia toward sustainable living. An industry first, the one-stop digital platform makes it simple and easy to access an array of sustainability-centric educational resources and services via the following features:

Know Better delivers bite-sized content that shows how customers can adopt habits that lead to a greener lifestyle. Customers can find eco-friendly tips and recommendations from the content hub and immediately put them into practice. It also conceptualises design and style that is commonly seen on social media, allowing easy consumption and retention.

Invest Better allows DBS customers to invest in companies that align with their values through SFC-authorised ESG Funds, or select from more than 350 funds with MSCI ESG Fund ratings of "AAA" or "AA" (data as of 17 Aug 2022). An array of ESG and sustainability-related funds and ETFs can be accessed seamlessly on the DBS digibank HK app. 

DBS understands the growing customer urge to adopt a green lifestyle in a fuss-free and intuitive manner. Ajay Mathur, Managing Director, Head of Customer Banking Group & Wealth Management, DBS Hong Kong said “At DBS Hong Kong, we are always looking for innovative ways to make life better for our customers.
