UOB FD Promotion 2026: 4.10% p.a. — But Only If You've Never Banked With UOB

RaymondRates.my3 min read

UOB just launched a fixed deposit promo — up to 4.10% per annum for six months, one of the best rates around. But there's a catch bigger than any tier: you must have never banked with UOB before.

Three tiers, one closed door

Every tier of the FD Plus New-To-Bank Campaign is open only to customers who have never held a UOB account.
  • A RM10,000 minimum applies to every tier — maximum placement ranges from RM100,000 to RM350,000.
  • Funds must be new — moved in from another bank within 7 business days, not recycled inside UOB.
  • Placements must be made at a branch — internet banking and self-service branches don't qualify.

Who actually gets locked out

FOUR GATES, IN ORDER — CLEAR ALL FOUR TO GET THE CAMPAIGN RATE1No UOB deposit, loan, card or insurance in the past 12 months2Opens a brand-new CASA account alongside the FD Plus3Places New Funds — moved in from another bank within 7 business days4Keeps RM10,000 in that CASA until the FD Plus matures✕ An existing UOB customer fails Gate 1 — gates 2 to 4 never come into play.
An existing UOB customer fails the very first gate — the other three requirements never come into play.
  • A new CASA account is required too — FD-only sign-ups don't qualify for the campaign rate.
  • RM10,000 must stay in that CASA throughout the campaign, or UOB can cut the rate to board level.
  • Existing UOB customers get nothing from this campaign — it was never open to them, whatever they deposit.

What to watch

  • 30 Sep 2026Campaign period ends — or earlier, if the RM300 million fund limit is reached first.
  • 7 Oct 2026Last day UOB will accept a Campaign Placement — one week's grace after the campaign itself ends.
  • Your maturity dateThe FD Plus rolls over at UOB's board rate, not the campaign rate, even if the campaign is still running.
