Pros

  • Alternative debt consolidation loans for new UOB customers denied from other banks

Cons

  • Not the most competitive interest rates
PROMO: Get S$200 Cashback

UOB's debt consolidation plan is best viewed as an expensive alternative to other plans because the bank advertises interest rates that are higher than those of its competitors. Borrowers that have not previously used UOB's services are eligible for slightly better rates; but it is unclear what rates these borrowers will receive in reality, due to vague wording on UOB's website.

What Makes UOB's Debt Consolidation Plans Stand Out to Borrowers

UOB's debt consolidation loan is not the best among options available in Singapore. The bank charges higher than average interest rates (EIR: 8.22% - 10.41%), making it a less affordable option. For this reason, UOB's debt consolidation plan is best viewed as a backup to other, more affordable loans.

          Singaporeans and permanent residents with incomes of at least S$30,000 and less than S$120,000 are eligible for UOB's debt consolidation plan. Applicants must also have balance to income (BTI) ratios of at least 12 times their monthly income.

          Other Charges and Fees

          UOB does not clearly state on its website whether it charges service or annual fees. That being said, it does charge an early settlement fee of 5% or S$200, whichever is greater. UOB also charges a S$90 fee for late repayments. This is similar to fees charged by other banks. We recommend that borrowers make on-time payments to minimise the total cost of their loan.
