We are committed to enhancing the security of your information, including the transmission of confidential information to you. The UOB Secure Email solution protects the content of your email from being accessed by unauthorized recipients. The new solution will encrypt the entire email, including the email message and any attachments, and can only be accessed by visiting the UOB Secure Email system using a profile that you will need to setup once.

UOB Secure Email can be accessed from any desktop, laptop, mobile devices (by using mobile application) that has an active internet connection. For better user experience, we recommended accessing your encrypted email using desktop or laptop (Windows or Mac) devices. If the access to UOB Secure Email system site is blocked in your organization, please contact your IT administrator.
