I have read too many bad reviews about how slow and inefficient the staff in this branch are. So I gave myself a 2-hour buffer for my visit this morning. When I arrived, a lady staff approached me and asked how she could help. I explained the login issue I was facing. She wasn't sure how to solve my problem but the security guard (yes! the security guard!) stepped forward and showed me how to activate my card and reset the password at the atm. Then I was given a queue number to go to the counter. I waited 5 mins, my number was called and everything was resolved in 10 mins flat! Which left me with more than an hour to spare before my next appointment ...not complaining!! Keep up the good service!

Terrible experience. Came to get a queue number and service staff emphasised that there were 10+ people infront of me and that the waiting time would be 1 hour+. Went around for 15 mins and came back to see that my queue number was missed. Told her that the QN was missed even though it had just been 15 minutes contrary to what she informed me prior. and she told me to take a seat first. Ended up waiting for another 45 mins until I approached her again and seemed like she didnt inform anyone my queue number was missed before that? Your staff managing the queue number are the first point of contact. Shouldn’t they be more efficient in their job?

I have no choice but to post this so that UOB can improve its service.
Had found 24 fraudulent transactions amounting close to $1700 starting 6 Dec till 30 Dec were found in my UOB bank account and called UOB hotline immediately . My debit card was immediately cancelled and I quickly reduced my transaction limit to $1000(lowest) using my UOB app. Was told that investigation would take a month and if found not authorised by me, would ‘refund’ me. A few days ago, received ‘refund’ but not full. Called hotline and was told perhaps ‘Facebook’ would refund me. I ‘made noise’ and was told to call back in a week’s time to find out the outcome!! Not UOB call me??
Yesterday, I used my app to increase my limit as I wanted to transfer a big sum. To my frustration, I could not. Needed to use my token as indicated on the app screen.
I went down to Bukit Panjang Plaza branch. The young customer service guy tried to help but the app locked me out due to 3 tries. I had to take a queue number to transfer my money over the counter.
During the one and a half hour wait, I saw no. 1 counter serving strictly only clients who changed new notes. Then, I saw a no. 2 counter converting to doing that too. Then, what about people like us who needed to do banking transactions urgently?
Then came an elderly woman..who walked in and was served quite immediately by a smiling staff walking to serve her. I overheard..”Wealth management”. I went straight to a slim senior looking customer service man at the Q no. Counter. I asked him to help me expedite things and received a stern voice saying that everybody had to queue.
Finally, my turn, after 1 hour 30 mins, I went straight to counter 4. Maslina(she is a gem) was efficient and helped to reset my digital token but still could not help! Desperate, I told her..can just transfer the money over the counter for me as it was urgent. To my horror, was told I would be charged $10 for this!! This was the last straw!!
I lowered transaction limit because of fraudulent transactions and I went all the way down to a branch, queued for 90 minutes because I could not transfer on app and now slapped with a $10 counter charge due to no fault of mine!
I am still awaiting the fraudulent transactions ‘refund’! Maybe I should report to MAS then I will get full amount back!
I am definitely going to close my UOB account soon. Don’t need a bank that treats us like that!

I want to add a positive review, since you usually only see bad reviews. Staff at the entrance who helped issue queue numbers were polite and friendly. I went there early and waited about 45 minutes (12 customers before me). I was served by Maslina(?) at Counter 4. She was pleasant and patient in answering any inquiries I had, and she also warmly greeted the old lady before me. To avoid long waiting times, it's best to go earlier to avoid the afternoon crowd.

I have no choice but to post this so that UOB can improve its service.
I found 24 fraudulent transactions totaling close to $1700, from December 6th to December 30th, in my UOB bank account, and I called the UOB hotline immediately. My debit card was immediately cancelled, and I quickly reduced my transaction limit to $1000 (the lowest possible) using my UOB app. I was told that the investigation would take a month and that if the transactions were found to be unauthorized by me, they would 'refund' me.
A few days ago, I received a 'refund,' but it was not the full amount. I called the hotline and was told that perhaps 'Facebook' would refund me. I 'made noise' and was told to call back in a week to find out the outcome. Shouldn't UOB be calling me?
Yesterday, I used my app to increase my limit as I wanted to transfer a big sum. To my frustration, I could not. The app screen indicated I needed to use my token. I went to the Bukit Panjang Plaza branch. The young customer service representative tried to help, but the app locked me out after three failed attempts. I had to take a queue number to transfer my money over the counter.
During the one and a half hour wait, I saw Counter No. 1 strictly serving only clients who were exchanging new notes. Then, I saw Counter No. 2 also begin doing the same. Then, what about people like us who needed to do banking transactions urgently?

Worst bank I've experienced in my life. The customer officer who was working on 15/04 around 2 PM, and a security guard from Certis Cisco... The customer officer never even stepped out from her desk and told Certis Cisco what to do, while he was guiding me with my cheque, which I mentioned to them was a cross cheque. Now UOB couldn't help me with my cheque, and they could simply say sorry.
This is the worst bank and the worst experience I've had in my life.
