    Restrict access to UOB TMRW app when unauthorised apps are detected

    We will restrict your access to UOB TMRW app when mobile apps with risky permissions are detected, as this may compromise your banking and personal information. The name of the app will be highlighted on the screen. The UOB TMRW session will be terminated, and you will then be directed back to the login page.
