United Overseas Bank (UOB) SWIFT Code: UOVBSGSG

UOB SWIFT Code: UOVBSGSG

The SWIFT/BIC code for United Overseas Bank is UOVBSGSG. UOVB identifies UOB, SG stands for Singapore, and SG is the Singapore location code. This code is used for international wire transfers to UOB accounts in Singapore.

UOB is Singapore's third-largest bank and one of the highest-rated banks in Asia-Pacific (Aa1 by Moody's). Founded in 1935, it has expanded aggressively in ASEAN markets, particularly after acquiring Citigroup's consumer banking operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam in 2022.

UOB's ASEAN Payment Network

UOB's strength is its ASEAN connectivity. The bank operates in all 10 ASEAN member states and processes a high volume of cross-border payments between Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. This makes UOVBSGSG a frequently used code for intra-ASEAN business payments.

UOB also runs a dedicated ASEAN trade financing platform for businesses managing supply chains across Southeast Asia. Wire transfers related to trade finance — letters of credit, documentary collections, and supplier payments — are a significant share of UOB's SWIFT traffic.

UOB Wire Costs and Currency Support

UOB charges SGD 10 for incoming wires in SGD and SGD 15 to SGD 25 for incoming wires in other currencies. Outgoing international transfers cost SGD 20 for online transfers and SGD 30 for branch transfers.

UOB supports accounts in SGD, USD, AUD, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, NZD, and CNY. The bank's FX rates are competitive for ASEAN currency pairs, particularly SGD-MYR, SGD-THB, and SGD-IDR, reflecting its regional focus.
