    I feel happy and great when I go to UOB Waterway Point Branch to open a new Stash Account. It was my first time at UOB Waterway Point Baranch to open a new savings account. I was glad that the banking officer help me to answer all enquiries regarding the account and explained to me the different accounts UOB have been offering to new customers. He was patient, friendly and understanding listening to my needs and wants for my first time opening a new UOB Savings Account. The process for opening a new UOB account is fast and smooth and I could even access UOB online to view my saving account. The overall experience at UOB was a pleasant and great one! I love their good customer service. The banking offer offer their best in assisting the customer. Excellent customer service and communication skills at UOB! A good customer service at UOB just makes my day! Great banking experience at UOB! Thumbs Up and kudos to their Customer Service!

    Unfortunately interest rates have seen a decline, but the app is still easy to use and the current interest rates are still acceptable.

    Like the online banking platform of UOB due to the mightysecure login. This account would be suitable for those who do not meet the salary crediting condition of other similar accounts. Interestingly the base condition to hit is a $500 spend monthly. For fresh grads still living with parents, this may be hard especially in the Covid-19 environment where everyone is staying at home.
