Singapore’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the economy, contributing more than 40% to GDP and employing over two-thirds of the local workforce, according to Enterprise Singapore. Yet, SMEs often face one persistent challenge—how to grow efficiently without burning capital.
United Overseas Bank (UOB), recently crowned the World’s Best SME Bank by Global Finance, has designed a powerful, all-in-one solution to help: the UOB Business Kit. It’s a well-rounded package that combines banking, digital tools, and insurance in one cost-efficient offering—specifically tailored for local SMEs.
Here’s a breakdown of what SMEs can get from the package—and how it delivers real value.
With the UOB Business World Debit Card, SMEs can earn:
Up to 1.5% cash rebate on overseas and local spend.
Over S$600 monthly cashback when using GIRO, FAST or telegraphic transfers
On top of that, UOB’s Transaction Cashback Promotion allows businesses to claim further rebates on eligible payments, subject to terms.
Maintain your business account for just S$3/month, one of the most competitive in Singapore.
Enjoy free local payments, easing your transactional burden.
Need a Banker’s Guarantee to secure tenders, rental agreements or contracts?
UOB offers a collateral-free solution—
“No facility fee, no annual fee, and no collateral or financial documents required,”
—making it a game-changer for small businesses looking to grow without tying up capital.
Through UOB BizCare, SMEs enjoy 3 months of complimentary insurance, covering nine essential risks. For businesses navigating economic uncertainty, this offers valuable peace of mind.
A major pain point for SMEs is the lack of digital infrastructure. UOB addresses this with:
Exabytes: Free AI-powered hosting and domain for 1 year (worth up to S$899)
Xero Cloud Accounting: 1-month free trial + 6 months free (worth up to S$390)
NETS Services: 6-month free POS & SGQR label (worth S$300)
Combined, these software integrations could save SMEs hundreds—if not thousands—while streamlining operations.
SMEs also gain access to preferential rates for Singtel business mobile and broadband, ensuring seamless connectivity for remote work or e-commerce ventures.
Banking with UOB isn’t just transactional—it’s also relational. Businesses that sign up are invited to join the UOB SME Community, where they can access expert advice, insights, and networking opportunities through go.uob.com/community.
