i'm probably 99% billingual like you and a few others here, but i find DBS really annoying in what language they use. i get a few emails from them that's has english subject line and everything else in chinese. What's the point.
and I'd like to apologize to Dasanii because of the chinese interface of the referal email! that is royally a disgrace.

Even the PRC-owned and run Bankcomm HK branch is more English-literate than DBS

It's quite surprising given it is a regional bank with a Singaporean parent. You'd think they'd use English as their working written language, not Chinese. But then again DBS HK is really the former Kwong On and OTB local banks.
