UOB Private Bank Appoints Regional Market Head for Greater China and North Asia

UOB Private Bank has appointed Dennis Hong as Regional Market Head, Greater China and North Asia, effective September 2026, as the bank continues to strengthen its wealth management franchise and capture growing cross-border wealth flows between Greater China and ASEAN.

In his new role, Dennis Hong will lead the growth and strategic development of UOB Private Bank’s Greater China and North Asia business, overseeing key markets including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, it says in a statement. He will be responsible for shaping market strategy, driving client acquisition, enhancing advisory capabilities and leading teams across the region to deepen client relationships and support sustainable business growth.

Hong joins UOB Private Bank with extensive experience in private banking and wealth management. Most recently, he led an Asia-Pacific private banking franchise with a strong focus on Greater China and North Asia. Throughout his career, he has built and managed large teams, developed market propositions and driven business expansion across major regional markets.
Based in Singapore, Hong will report directly to Chew Mun Yew, Head of UOB Private Bank.

The bank said the Greater China market remains a key pillar of its regional growth strategy, particularly as clients seek integrated wealth, investment and financing solutions across multiple jurisdictions.

UOB Private Bank aims to further strengthen its value proposition for high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients.
