POSB Bank (or merely called POSB) is a Singaporean bank offering customer banking services and is the oldest bank in continuous operation in Singapore. Developed on January 1, 1877 as the Post Office Savings Bank, the bank now operates as part of DBS Bank, which acquired the institution and its subsidiaries on November 16, 1998.

Prior to its acquisition, the bank was a major public bank offering low-cost banking services to Singaporeans. DBS Bank tries to continue this tradition by promising to keep costs low for basic savings accounts, and to exempt children, full-time students below the age of 21 years and full-time National Servicemen from bank charges.

Founded on January 1, 1877 as the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB), the bank was part of the Postal Solutions Department in the Straits Settlements and was set up by the colonial federal government to provide banking services for lower-income citizens.Headquartered in the General Post Office Structure, in Raffles Place, the bank was under the jurisdiction of the Postmaster-General, with bank policies supervised by a group of trustees selected by the Governor of the Straits Settlement. From 1877 to 1940, the bank had a constant growth of accounts opened increasing from 211 to 57,000 while total deposits increased from 19,862 to 14.3 million Straits dollars throughout the very same duration.
