Singapore’s Central Depository Opens New, Investor-Friendly Front Office

Date 18/12/2000

The Central Depository (CDP), a subsidiary of Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX), will move its customer service counters to a new, more investor-friendly front office from Monday, 18 December 2000.

Located on the 7th floor of the Singapore Exchange building, the new office has a friendlier design which promotes closer and more personal interaction between the public and customer service officers. It also provides users with access to the internet, news and financial information through PCs and TV monitors.

Thomas Kloet, CEO of SGX, said, "This is part of our efforts to provide added value, and to enhance the level of service for CDP customers. It is also a preview of the eventual CDP front office when SGX moves to Shenton Way next year. With these modifications in place, we hope to make every investor's visit a pleasant experience. Meanwhile, we will maintain our emphasis on professionalism and friendliness by continuously training our team of dedicated officers."
