    This week, we saw DBS Group (SGX: D05) release a sparkling set of earnings for 2022.

    Singapore’s largest bank reported a record-high net profit and also declared a special dividend.

    Meanwhile, iFAST Corporation Limited (SGX: AIY) saw its net profit plunge because of market volatility and several one-off expenses.

    The fintech, however, has maintained its final dividend as it sees better days ahead.

    These are reputable names within their respective industries that pay out a steady, dependable dividend.
