The United Overseas Bank, or more fondly known as UOB is an investment banking and financial services group from Singapore. Like every other bank from Singapore, UOB has a very good performance where its net income in 2016 totaled slightly more than SGD8 billion.

Strong and Stable Banking Group

UOB Bank was established in 1935 which means it is almost a decade old. Founded by Mr. Wee Kheng, UOB Bank’s headquarters is in UOB Plaza in Raffles Place. To date, UOB Bank is one of the largest banks in the region where it now operates in about 19 countries where it has about 500 offices worldwide. There are almost 25,000 employees in its payroll and what makes it so popular is that UOB is rated AA- by Standard and Poors. In Singapore alone, it has about 70 branches that offer a full range of corporate and commercial banking services.

The bank was actually started by Wee and 6 of his other friends when it started out as United Chinese Bank. This was intended to target the large Chinese population in the island before it was renamed in 1965 as United Overseas Bank. That was the same year it expanded overseas to Hong Kong. UOB would eventually get involved in other banks like Chung Khiaw Bank, Lee Wah Bank, and many others before it becomes what it is today.
