you are in Sustainability
We put our customers and their financial goals first as we grow our business through conscious and concerted efforts across our entire franchise.
At UOB, we put our customers first and it is on this foundation that we have developed our business and will continue to grow. What is not right for our customers is not right for us. Fair Dealing is at the heart of every decision and recommendation that we make at UOB. This is achieved through conscious and concerted efforts across our entire franchise.
The principles of Fair Dealing reflect UOB’s time-tested values of Honour, Enterprise, Unity and Commitment, and are not bound by business or geography. In particular, our value of Honour underpins our commitment to delivering the five Fair Dealing Outcomes as set out in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Guidelines on Fair Dealing.
Offering products and services that are suitable for them
Ensuring our employees give quality advice and appropriate recommendations
Providing clear, relevant and timely information so that customers can make informed financial decisions
Dealing with feedback in an independent, effective and prompt manner
We embed Fair Dealing principles in the way we design our investment products and services, our marketing and sales strategies and approaches, and our after-sales care. By consistently putting these principles into practice, we provide suitable financial services and solutions to customers and ensure long-term business sustainability.
Fair Dealing is the responsibility of everyone at UOB, regardless of our individual roles. This duty is embodied in the UOB Code of Conduct. We have in place frameworks, policies and guidelines to ensure that we always aim for and achieve the Fair Dealing Outcomes.

Reviewed and approved by the Operational Risk Management Committee on an annual basis, the policy ensures that we have a consistent practice for dealing with our customers fairly.
The Fair Dealing Guidelines Committee (FDGC), comprising senior management appointed by our Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for ensuring Fair Dealing Outcomes for our customers. The Board and Management provide oversight through the Board Risk Management Committee and the Risk and Capital Committee respectively.
Under the FDGC’s leadership and guidance, UOB has been, over the years, proactively driving the implementation of various new and/or improved controls and process refinement initiatives aimed at improving the standards of achieving Fair Dealing Outcomes. These include:
