United Overseas Bank (UOB) has appointed Tan Choon Hin as head of ASEAN and Greater China, the Singaporean lender announced on Monday.
The newly created role will oversee the bank’s regional operations across Southeast Asia and mainland China, according to a statement. Tan, who previously served as UOB’s head of group business banking, will report directly to UOB’s group executive director and CEO of international, Janet Young.
The appointment reflects UOB’s focus on expanding its footprint in key Asian markets amid heightened competition in the region’s banking sector. Tan’s responsibilities will include driving growth initiatives, strengthening client relationships, and coordinating cross-border business strategies.
UOB did not disclose additional details regarding the timeline for the transition or Tan’s start date in the role.
