UOB

United Overseas Bank Limited

United Overseas Bank Limited is a Singapore-incorporated bank, company registration 193500026Z, listed in the MAS Financial Institutions Directory as a Local Bank and additionally as an exempt capital markets services entity, exempt financial adviser, exempt trust company and SGS primary dealer. The bank has been incorporated since 1935 and reports a global network of about 430 branches and offices in 19 markets, run from its Singapore head office alongside banking subsidiaries in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. It publishes its own grades — Aa1 from Moody's Investors Service and AA- from both S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings. Its Singapore relationship tiers are stated as balances that must be maintained at all times rather than as opening minima: Wealth Banking requires at least S$100,000 and Privilege Banking at least S$350,000 in monthly cash deposits and/or investments, in each case or the foreign-currency equivalent, and the bank reserves the right to vary the figure. UOB Private Bank publishes investment advisory, discretionary portfolio management, family-office, investment and credit solutions, but no entry threshold. Eligible Singapore-dollar deposits are insured by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation up to S$100,000 in aggregate per depositor; foreign-currency deposits, dual currency investments, structured deposits and other investment products are not insured.
