United Overseas Bank Opens A Mega Branch At Ang Mo Kio Hub To Bring Greater Banking Convenience To The Heartlands
18 April 2007, Singapore
Customers in Ang Mo Kio can look forward to greater
banking convenience as United Overseas Bank's (UOB) new 7000 square feet mega
branch opens at Ang Mo Kio (AMK) Hub. Offering a full suite of services and new
features that complement the lifestyles of its customers, the Bank's new mega branch
will see a new Kid's Corner that is furnished with educational games and even
PlayStation consoles. This allows children to be kept occupied in a fun and safe
environment while their parents focus on their banking needs. To add to that, there will
also be a self-service section where computer booths have been specially set up for
customers who would rather perform their banking transactions online.
Apart from the above, the Q-Matic system will also be used in the new mega branch as
an added level of service. This composite system sends short text messages to
customers' mobile phones to inform them that their turn is fast approaching.
With a floor area of some 7000 square feet, this mega branch is the Bank's second
biggest branch, with the largest being its main branch at UOB Plaza. Ms Wendy Teo,
UOB's Head of Sales and Distribution, Personal Financial Services said, "The Bank has
an established presence in Ang Mo Kio. We have been providing banking needs to one
of Singapore's oldest heartland for the longest time. Therefore, we are able to
understand customers' needs better. We also believe that we are poised to serve both
the young and old residents to cater to their lifestyle needs."
To better cater to the needs of its customers, this new branch will be opened from 11am
to 6pm on Mondays to Fridays and 11am to 4pm on Saturdays. In addition, it is also the
only bank at the AMK Hub that is opened on Sundays from 11am to 6pm for customers
who may require assistance in Loans and Investment-related matters.
