UOB to shut down 24 branches

Thirty-eight will remain open, each located within a 3km radius from a closed branch.

UOB will close 24 branches and dedicate its first banking hour to elderly and vulnerable customers starting 8 April, following the announcement of stricter distancing measures.

Thirty-eight branches will remain open, with the nearest available branch nestled within a three-kilometre radius from a closed branch. Self-serving banking machines and shared ATMs with OCBC will remain fully operational.

The bank will also deploy its branch employees as “Safe Distancing Ambassadors” to guide clients on maintaining appropriate distance from one another during their visit.

Customers are advised to utilise the UOB Mighty app and the UOB Business Internet Banking Plus for their banking needs.
