Wellness & Longevity Brand Partnerships Director

About us

Asia Bankers Club (www.asiabankersclub.com) is expanding into wellness with the launch of a new online platform for premium longevity and wellness products.

Asia Bankers Club was founded in 2012 by Kingston Lai, a former Executive Director at Morgan Stanley. Over the past 14 years, it has grown into a lifestyle and investment club with offices in Hong Kong, Taipei, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok and Dubai, serving a community of more than 100,000 members across Asia and the Middle East. The company is wholly owned by IFCX Group, which received investment from Black Spade Capital, the family office of Macau's casino tycoon Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman of Melco Resorts & Entertainment.

Longevity has long been one of the Club's core pillars through its Aesthetic Longevity Care service, and this new venture takes that commitment further.

The new platform is headquartered in Singapore and will launch first in Singapore and Hong Kong, with the UAE and Saudi Arabia to follow. It will bring together a carefully curated range of proven Western longevity brands with the best of Korean and Japanese wellness and skincare, across five pillars: Eat, Exercise, Mind, Sleep and Skin.
