UOB Malaysia’s donation of medical equipment is the latest in its series of relief initiatives under UOB’s global #UnitedForYou COVID-19 Relief Programme. Throughout the pandemic, the Bank has offered various relief measures, including the six-month opt-in repayment moratorium which took effect in July 2021, as part of its continuous effort to support customers who are financially impacted by the ongoing movement restrictions.
 
UOB Malaysia also contributed RM500,000 last year through The Association of Banks in Malaysia to MERCY Malaysia’s COVID-19 Pandemic Fund. The fund was set up to provide healthcare workers in the country with adequate critical medical equipment needed to take care of patients and to protect frontliners. The Bank also donated more than RM350,000 to four charities to help more than 25,000 children in need, particularly children from vulnerable families in urban and rural areas, single-parent households and socio-economically challenged communities.
