United Overseas Bank

UOB is committed to building lasting relationships with our customers, through product and market expertise, and our promise to always do what is right. With a well-established global presence today and particularly in Asia, UOB has understanding of Asian markets, corporate culture and business mindsets, which is matched by few. Our strong foothold in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and China is well-placed to create greater access and growth in this region, for our customers. Founded by Datuk Wee Kheng Chiang, UOB was incorporated on 6 August 1935 as the United Chinese Bank; the change of name was effected in 1965. The Bank catered mainly to the Fujian community in its early years but over the past decades, UOB has grown in strength and stature. Through a series of acquisitions, it is now a leading bank in Asia. Besides Far Eastern Bank in Singapore, UOB’s major banking subsidiaries in the region are United Overseas Bank (Malaysia), United Overseas Bank (Thailand), PT Bank UOB Indonesia and United Overseas Bank (China). Today, the UOB Group has a network of more than 500 offices in 19 countries and territories in Asia Pacific, Western Europe and North America. Our Real Estate Sustainable Finance Framework supports green buildings across seven asset classes – data centres, hotels, industrial buildings, offices, residential properties, restaurants and retail spaces. Developers in Asia are building more green buildings and retrofitting existing buildings to market-accepted green standards. As a leading bank in the region, UOB works with like-minded clients to drive the development of sustainable financing in the real estate sector.
