As a gesture of goodwill*, the bank offers customers one (1) finance charge or late charge waiver across all eligible account(s) with the Bank within a period of 12 rolling months. If you have been granted a waiver in the past 12 rolling months, we regret that we will not be able to grant you any further waivers nor consider any appeals.

*Not applicable to customers with 2 or more consecutive partial / late payments within their last three billing cycles (statements), and customers with 5 or more partial / late payments in their last twelve billing cycles (statements).

The Bank will periodically review the waiver criteria and all waiver requests are subject to the Bank’s approval.

Customers are rejected due to 2 main reasons.
1) Exceeding the goodwill* limit for waiver – one (1) finance charge or late charge across all eligible account(s) with the Bank within a period of 12 rolling months.
2) Failing to make full and / or late payment on multiple occasions within a period of 12 rolling months.

If you have been granted a waiver for finance charge and/or late charge in the past 12 rolling months, we regret that we will not be able to grant you any further waivers and/or consider any appeals.

If you only hold a single credit card with UOB or have a Private Banking / Privilege Reserve Banking relationship with UOB, please request via our self-service channels (listed below) and we will automatically waive your annual fee.

(Not applicable for fee-paying premium cards such as Visa Infinite Metal Card and Reserve Card, please refer to our Credit Card Annual Fee page for more information)

Alternatively, if you hold multiple credit cards with UOB, to qualify, you must spend:

  • S$5,500 on credit card charged w/ Annual Fee, or
  • S$22,000 across all UOB credit cards, or
