UOB upgrades 300,000 Visa cards to new premium tiers across ASEAN

Eligible cardholders will learn of their new card tiers beginning September 2026.

United Overseas Bank (UOB) has partnered with Visa to relaunch several of its card products under Visa’s newly introduced premium card tiers, Visa Infinite Privilege and Visa Infinite Private.

Over 300,000 cards across five markets—Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam—will be upgraded to higher card tiers, UOB said in a statement. Eligible UOB Visa Infinite cardholders will be notified of their new card tiers from September 2026 onwards.

All other cardholders in the five markets will continue to enjoy their existing privileges with no downgrades across the portfolio, UOB said.

Visa refreshed its Infinite offering on 16 July, with the two new card tiers. 

UOB is Visa’s largest card issuer in ASEAN based on total billings, the bank said, with over 8.5 million customers across the region.

The number of new UOB affluent cardholders reportedly grew over 10% year-on-year in 2025, whilst card billings for this segment surged more than 25% in the same year.
