For both retail and SME customers, this campaign is nothing short of a financial extravaganza designed to mark an illustrious 25-year journey in Thailand.
What’s in store, you ask? How about 25 exclusive benefits that span a variety of financial products? From credit cards to investments, insurance plans to loans of every ilk – they’re pulling out all the stops! Let’s begin with retail customers: if you’re looking for tax-free regular savings accounts, make your deposits and snag some delightful gifts! And if Starbucks is your brew of choice, then rejoice because UOB credit card holders are in for some exclusive coffee deals. Not to be missed are the vouchers worth 200 baht, available for the first 2,500 customers signing up for UOB personal loans each month. It’s a buffet of benefits covering daily banking needs to detailed long-term financial strategies.
Now, let’s pivot to the dynamic world of SMEs! They’re set to gain remarkable perks too, starting with the UOB BizProperty Loan. Imagine interest rates from as low as 2.50% per year, a financing management fee pared down to a mere 1.25% of the loan amount approved, plus a tenure stretching up to 30 years, and a maximum loan pile of 40 million baht. And if you’re quick enough, this amazing offer awaits applications from October 1, 2024, through the end of February 2025.

In the words of Mr. Richard Maloney, the esteemed President and CEO of UOB Thailand, “We are profoundly thankful for the unwavering trust our customers have shown us over these remarkable 25 years. Since staking our flag in Thailand by acquiring Radanasin Bank back in 1999, followed by Bank of Asia in 2004, and most recently, Citigroup’s consumer banking division in 2022, we’ve grown into the second-largest foreign-owned bank in Thailand, and proudly the second-largest subsidiary within the UOB Group. Our commitment to creating substantial value extends to our partners and diverse communities, all while aiding Thailand to harness the burgeoning ASEAN landscape. This extensive campaign is our heartfelt thank you to individuals and businesses alike – the very heart of our growth story!”

This sounds like an incredible moment for UOB Thailand! I’ve been a customer for years and am thrilled to see these offers.
Don’t get too excited. These offers look more like traps to pull in more customers.
I see your point, but as a loyal customer, the benefits have been tangible for me. It’s all about choosing wisely!
Exactly! I’ve scored some sweet deals on coffee and savings plans. A win-win if you ask me.
That’s great, but still feels like a marketing gimmick to me, honestly.
These SME offers are crucial for small businesses in Thailand, especially with the low-interest rates. Couldn’t have come at a better time!
Absolutely agree! As an SME owner, these deals provide much-needed financial relief and opportunity for expansion.
I benefited from their SME deals last year. It was a lifesaver during a tough period.
Mr. Richard Maloney sounds really proud of UOB’s journey, but the consumer remains to be seen if those benefits hold up beyond the anniversary hype.
That’s usually the case with such celebrations, isn’t it? Lots of promises, little follow-through.
Exactly my concern. We’ve seen these kinds of promotions come and go.
I’ve benefited from their offers before. It’s not all hype if you know what fits your needs.
I’m looking forward to how UOB will use its position in Thailand to support sustainable and technological advancements. It’s the future!
Exactly! Imagine if these promos also included green business incentives. Now that would be visionary.
Yes, UOB should consider including ecological and technological benefits in their promotions.
25 years and they still haven’t gained enough trust to be the largest foreign-owned bank in Thailand. Says something, doesn’t it?
It’s not about size; it’s about quality and reliability. They’ve made significant strides over the years.
Free Starbucks just for signing up? Count me in! I’ve always been tempted by these kinds of offers.
Just remember, nothing is truly free. Always read the fine print.
The strategic acquisitions UOB has made over the years have solidified its presence in ASEAN. An interesting case study for business students!
Yes! UOB’s journey is a fascinating mix of expansion strategies and local adaptation. Can’t wait to delve deeper into this.
Exactly, and their ability to integrate different operations seamlessly is commendable.
I think offering long-term loans with low rates for SMEs will transform small-scale entrepreneurship in Thailand.
What about people who don’t yet bank with UOB? Are these offers worth opening an account for?
If you meet the right conditions and use the benefits wisely, yes. But always weigh them against existing offers from other banks.
Opportunities like this anniversary offer a platform to reassess one’s financial strategy. Smart planning could make a significant difference.
Couldn’t agree more! Aligning with such offers can accelerate reaching your financial goals if strategically utilized.
Is it just me, or do these bank promos always come with hidden charges and fees?
Not just you. Always scrutinize the terms. Offers are great, but so often they mask bigger issues.
Exactly, Frank. It’s annoying to think you’re getting a deal only to be slapped with unexpected costs.
