UOB injects $103m to double Vietnam capital since 2021

UOB is currently the only Singapore bank with a subsidiary in Vietnam.

UOB has announced plans to increase the charter capital of its Vietnam subsidiary to $520m, pending regulatory approval from the State Bank of Vietnam.

The additional $103.4m capital injection is the bank’s third since 2021 and will double UOB Vietnam’s charter capital from 2021 levels, making it the second-largest foreign-owned bank in Vietnam by charter capital.

UOB is currently the only Singapore bank with a subsidiary in Vietnam.

As part of its expansion, UOB will also invest in a new headquarters in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City’s business district.

The UOB Vietnam Plaza will house most of the bank’s 1,500 employees and will include sustainable design features and modern workspaces.

Upon completion, UOB will have local headquarters buildings in all five of its key ASEAN markets: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
