Wee Ee Cheong: Regional banking powerhouse with $524 billion

Wee Ee Cheong, an avid bonsai collector, oversees United Overseas Bank (UOB) as its deputy chairman and CEO. UOB, founded in 1935 by Wee Ee Cheong’s grandfather, Wee Kheng Chiang, has evolved from a single Singapore branch into a regional banking powerhouse with $524 billion in assets as of December 2023. Wee, who succeeded his late father as CEO in 2007, emphasizes expansion beyond Singapore due to limited growth opportunities in the local market. In an exclusive interview with Forbes Asia, he highlights the importance of UOB’s comprehensive ASEAN footprint and its goal to shift the revenue mix toward more overseas contributions by 2026.
