A winning combination of sector expertise, deep local knowledge and strong regional connectivity make it possible to provide companies with strategic advice and tailor-made solutions at every stage of the business cycle.
UOB partners with its clients to continually progress towards sustainable growth in various ways, including timely investment in upgrades or acquisitions, or new forays into cross-border trade within the Asean region as well as with Greater China and beyond.
Peter Koh (right), group CEO of Oceanus Group, and Eric Lian, UOB's managing director and head of group commercial banking, reflect on the Singaporean food tech company's journey to become a food security expert in Asia.
It also helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) navigate economically difficult times before setting them on the path to success with a firmer financial footing.
UOB has been doing so for decades, and its key to helping clients succeed is by gaining a deep understanding of their businesses. That is how it builds the kind of long-term relationships which create value for companies and communities, and sustains the continuous process of adapting to change and identifying opportunities for growth.
One prime example is the bank's long-standing relationship with Oceanus Group, a Singapore-headquartered food technology company founded in 1998.

With US-China rivalry ‘putting the squeeze' on Asian markets, is taking sides an option?
Caught in the undertow of swirling power plays between China and the United States, Asia has become like a piece of driftwood battered by the pounding of opposing tides. With key tariff deadlines approaching in July, and in light of lingering trade tensions between the world's two biggest economies, many countries in the region are facing a delicate, pragmatic choice: bow to Washington's growing pressure to crack down on supply chains and enforcement – or preserve the economic ambiguity that underpins their deep ties with Beijing? Asian countries have entwined their supply chains, technology, markets and investment with Beijing – accounting for one-third of China's total trade volume, or US$1.89 trillion last year. Meanwhile, some of them may need security assurances from the US amid the growing Chinese influence in the region, analysts said. China remains the top trading partner for 18 countries across the region and has been the largest trading partner of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) for 15 consecutive years. Meanwhile, economic asymmetry and military advantage have often translated into Beijing's leverage in market power while, for many in the region, Washington represents security, diversification and strategic rebalancing, with its military presence, investment and advanced technology, analysts said. That leaves many Asian economies walking a tightrope – benefiting from China's vast market while remaining wary of the risks of over-dependence. For much of Asia, maintaining ties with both while caught in between has become a survival strategy.

How Trump's tariffs could benefit Asean in the long run
US President Donald Trump's tariffs – especially the ultra-high 'reciprocal tariffs' that he says will be reintroduced on July 8 for any country that has not struck a trade deal with his administration – have sent countries around the world scrambling to respond, adapt and limit the fallout. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations' 10 members – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – have been among the most proactive. Advertisement Their leaders quickly recognised that, after decades of spectacular gross domestic product growth, Asean is an economic force that the Trump administration would have to reckon with in a serious way. In 2000, Japan was the world's second-largest economy, some eight times larger than Asean; today, it is only 1.1 times larger, and by 2030, Asean's economy will overtake it. In 2010-2020, Asean contributed more to global economic growth than the European Union did. Asean owes much of this progress to open trade. Between 2003 and 2023, its trade with the rest of the world exploded. But the real secret to Asean's success is strong and competent leadership, exemplified, in the grouping's early years, by Singaporean prime minister Lee Kuan Yew , a Cambridge-educated lawyer, and Indonesian president Suharto, a Javanese military leader and mystic. It was their unlikely partnership that kept Asean together. Asean's leaders have upheld relative peace and stability in their countries, while cultivating a culture of consultation and consensus in guiding regional relations. This stands in stark contrast to the experiences of many other developing countries and regions. Advertisement
