UOB shuts China outlets over nCov

A small number of staff will remain in Shanghai and Beijing for customer service.

UOB has closed two banking outlets in Shanghai and Beijing, as well as its commercial banking centre in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong due to the coronavirus, according to a news release.

A small number of staff only remain in Shanghai and Beijing to support critical business and customer service. The Kwun Tong centre will be closed until 14 February.

The bank does not have operations in Hubei Province, the epicenter of the outbreak.

UOB has arranged work-from-home placements, split office measures and tele- or video-conference meetings for its Hong Kong staff as it continues its commercial banking operations in Kowloon and Causeway Bay.

The bank is also advising customers who have been to mainland China in the last 14 days to reschedule their visits to any UOB branches. Mobile and internet banking will be available for clients who are unwell or in quarantine.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
