UOB China (UOBC) aims to build the tech ecosystem by leveraging the Innovation Into ASEAN (IIA) community to gather onshore & offshore resources to explore win-win-win solutions for UOB, tech firms and existing potential UOB clients.

UOB's comprehensive network throughout the region provides a solid foundation for us to help companies with growth opportunities throughout the region. Our unique combination of local and domestic business and expertise, keen Asian market insights and regional network connections enable us to help clients tap into the potential of Asia.

UOBC relies on UOB Group’s banking network and is committed to providing dedicated services to technology or FinTech start-ups planning to deploy into the Southeast Asian market. We understand the challenges facing corporate growth and the support needed to sustain growth across the different stages of a company’s life cycle.

UOBC is an excellent partner for Tech/Fintech innovators or entrepreneurs who are interested in the ASEAN market. On 28 October 2020, we hosted “Innovate into ASEAN, Wednesday Talk” and invited guest speakers Mr Dato’ Eric Ku, Executive Director of iTrain Group Malaysia, Mr David Wu, Head of Global Business Development, VIPKID, and Mr Jerry Zhang, Partner of XueBa100 who shared and discussed business opportunities in ASEAN and China. This talk focused on Malaysia’s online education market and provided deeper insights into their needs and pain points.

UOBC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with three coworking space providers, Ucommune, the Bridge+, and LJZ Emerging Finance Park, to offer financial and workspace solutions to start-ups and SMEs. Our start-up and SME customers will enjoy a range of benefits at these coworking spaces across Greater China while their members will have access to UOBC’s comprehensive suite of banking products and services.
