UOB upgrades 300,000 Visa cards to new premium tiers across ASEAN

Eligible cardholders will learn of their new card tiers beginning September 2026.

United Overseas Bank (UOB) has partnered with Visa to relaunch several of its card products under Visa’s newly introduced premium card tiers, Visa Infinite Privilege and Visa Infinite Private.

Over 300,000 cards across five markets—Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam—will be upgraded to higher card tiers, UOB said in a statement. Eligible UOB Visa Infinite cardholders will be notified of their new card tiers from September 2026 onwards.

All other cardholders in the five markets will continue to enjoy their existing privileges with no downgrades across the portfolio, UOB said.

Visa refreshed its Infinite offering on 16 July, with the two new card tiers.

UOB is Visa’s largest card issuer in ASEAN based on total billings, the bank said, with over 8.5 million customers across the region.

The number of new UOB affluent cardholders reportedly grew over 10% year-on-year in 2025, whilst card billings for this segment surged more than 25% in the same year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
