It pays a dividend twice a year and has consistently paid out around half of its net profit. On that recurring ordinary dividend, the yield has historically sat in the low-to-mid 4% range. Higher figures near 6% include one-off special dividends and overstate the repeatable yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have seen UOB quoted closer to 6%, or with a payout ratio above 60%. Those numbers are real but temporary: they include special dividends from a capital-return programme that will not last. This guide covers what UOB pays on a repeatable basis, the full dividend history and payout dates, why the recurring dividend was trimmed in 2025, and how to buy the shares from Singapore. It is written for information and education, not as financial advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-uob-s-dividend-yield\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is UOB\u2019s Dividend Yield?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UOB\u2019s dividend yield depends on which dividend you count. On its recurring ordinary dividend, the yield has historically sat in the low-to-mid 4% range, competitive with the other local banks and above the roughly 2% to 3% paid by the broad Straits Times Index. Figures near 6% include finite special dividends and should not be read as permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dividend yield is simply the annual dividend per share divided by the share price, so it moves every day as the price moves. That is why this guide gives a durable range rather than a spot number: to work out UOB\u2019s yield today, divide its latest annual ordinary dividend by the current share price, which you can check on UOB\u2019s investor relations page or an SGX quote. Across FY2022 to FY2024 the ordinary dividend rose from S1.35toS1.80 a share, before easing to S$1.56 in FY2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the catch with the higher numbers. Some trackers have shown UOB yielding above 6%, or a payout ratio in the mid-60s. Those figures count 50 cents of special dividends paid during 2025 on top of the ordinary payout. The specials came from a one-off capital-return programme, not from regular profit, so they inflate the trailing yield. The honest, repeatable figure is the ordinary yield, historically in the low-to-mid 4% range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-uob-dividend-history-and-payout-dates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UOB Dividend History and Payout Dates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UOB pays dividends twice a year: an interim dividend after its half-year results, usually in August, and a final dividend after its full-year results, usually paid the following May. All dividends are tax-exempt under Singapore\u2019s one-tier system. The table below shows the recent per-share record, grouped by the financial year each dividend relates to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Financial year<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Interim<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Final<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Special<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total ordinary<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total incl. special<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2021<\/td><td>60\u00a2<\/td><td>60\u00a2<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>S$1.20<\/td><td>S$1.20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2022<\/td><td>60\u00a2<\/td><td>75\u00a2<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>S$1.35<\/td><td>S$1.35<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2023<\/td><td>85\u00a2<\/td><td>85\u00a2<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>S$1.70<\/td><td>S$1.70<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2024<\/td><td>88\u00a2<\/td><td>92\u00a2<\/td><td>25\u00a2 + 25\u00a2<\/td><td>S$1.80<\/td><td>S$2.30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2025<\/td><td>85\u00a2<\/td><td>71\u00a2<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>S$1.56<\/td><td>S$1.56<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2026<\/td><td>88\u00a2<\/td><td>declared Feb 2027<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>88\u00a2 so far<\/td><td>88\u00a2 so far<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: UOB Investor Relations. Dividends are tax-exempt under Singapore\u2019s one-tier system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two things stand out. First, the ordinary dividend climbed steadily from 2021 to 2024, then fell in 2025, from S1.80toS1.56, as the final was cut to 71 cents. That drop followed a weaker profit year, covered further below. Second, the 50 cents of special dividends attached to the 2024 results were part of a separate capital-return plan, explained in the next section. That multi-year record keeps UOB on most shortlists of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/2023-best-dividend-stocks-in-singapore\/\">income-paying SGX blue chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On timing, the most recent payments show the usual rhythm. The 2026 interim of 88 cents went ex-dividend on 17 August 2026 and was paid on 28 August 2026. The 2025 final of 71 cents went ex-dividend on 24 April 2026 and was paid on 8 May 2026. To qualify for any dividend, you must hold the shares before the ex-dividend date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-uob-s-dividend-policy-and-the-s-3-billion-capital-return\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UOB\u2019s Dividend Policy and the S$3 Billion Capital Return<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UOB has consistently paid out around half of its net profit as ordinary dividends. Because the payout tracks profit, the dividend moves with earnings: in a strong year it rises, and in a weaker year, as 2025 showed, it can fall. This is the single most useful thing to understand about the stock as an income holding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately, alongside its record FY2024 results, UOB announced a S3billionpackagetoreturnsurpluscapital,tobedistributedoveraboutthreeyearsandmarkingthebank\u2019s90thanniversary.Thepackagehastwoparts:specialdividendsandsharebuybacks.Aspecialdividendof50centspersharewaspaidacross2025intwo25-centtranches,returningroughlyS0.8 billion, and the bank launched a new S$2 billion share buyback programme. The point for income investors is that this is surplus capital being handed back, not a permanent lift to the regular dividend. Once the programme runs its course, the headline yield that includes these extras is likely to step back down toward the ordinary level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-is-uob-a-good-dividend-or-income-stock\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is UOB a Good Dividend or Income Stock?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether UOB suits an income portfolio depends on what you want from it. It offers a profit-backed ordinary dividend, historically in the low-to-mid 4% range, from one of Singapore\u2019s largest banks, with a few more cents of capital return on top for now. The trade-offs: the dividend is not fixed, it tracks profit and was cut in 2025, and the yield is competitive rather than the highest on the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table below shows where UOB\u2019s ordinary yield typically sits against other common SGX income options. These are indicative ranges that different sectors have tended to pay, not live figures, since every yield moves with price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Stock \/ asset<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>SGX ticker<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sector<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Typical yield range<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>UOB (ordinary)<\/td><td>U11<\/td><td>Banks<\/td><td>~4% to 4.5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DBS<\/td><td>D05<\/td><td>Banks<\/td><td>~4.5% to 6%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>OCBC<\/td><td>O39<\/td><td>Banks and insurance<\/td><td>~4% to 5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Singtel<\/td><td>Z74<\/td><td>Telecoms<\/td><td>~4%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ST Engineering<\/td><td>S63<\/td><td>Industrials<\/td><td>~2% to 3%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A major S-REIT<\/td><td>\u2014<\/td><td>Property<\/td><td>~5% to 7%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Straits Times Index (ETF)<\/td><td>ES3<\/td><td>Broad market<\/td><td>~2% to 3%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your question is really which local bank to hold, that comparison belongs in a dedicated piece on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/singapore-bank-earnings-dividend-outlook-investing-in-dbs-uob-and-ocbc-stocks\/\">how the three local banks compare<\/a> on earnings and dividends. UOB\u2019s own appeal is a strong balance sheet and a growing ASEAN franchise, set against a dividend that is competitive rather than the highest available, and a payout that moves with profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-uob-shares-beyond-the-dividend-earnings-and-what-moves-the-price\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>UOB Shares Beyond the Dividend: Earnings and What Moves the Price<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dividend tracks profit, so the earnings story matters as much as the payout. UOB reported a record net profit of about S6.0billionforFY2024,up6%ontheprioryear.FY2025wassofter,aboutS4.7 billion, after the bank set aside heavier pre-emptive provisions against a more uncertain trade and tariff backdrop, and that is why the final dividend was trimmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an income investor, the takeaway is how a bank\u2019s results flow through to the shares. Profit, and with it the dividend and the share price, swings on three things: credit costs and provisions, the interest-rate cycle, and loan and fee growth across UOB\u2019s Singapore and ASEAN markets. A sharper slowdown raises provisions and pressures earnings, which can flow through to a lower dividend, as 2025 showed; a stronger cycle lifts them. For the latest quarter\u2019s results and the current share price, UOB\u2019s investor relations page carries the live figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-invest-in-uob-from-singapore\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Invest in UOB From Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UOB trades on the SGX under the ticker U11, and you can buy it through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/brokerage\/sgx\">Syfe\u2019s SGX stock brokerage<\/a>. It trades in board lots of 10 shares, which you hold in your Central Depository (CDP) account or with a custodian broker. For the current price and what a lot costs today, check a live quote, since the price moves daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are new to this, our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/how-to-buy-stocks-in-singapore\/\">opening a brokerage account<\/a> walks through the account options and your first trade. If your goal is income rather than a single stock, relying on one bank ties your payout to that bank\u2019s provisions, earnings and board decisions, so some investors prefer to spread income across many holdings, for example through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/income-plus\">a diversified income portfolio<\/a> that blends bonds and dividend-paying assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is UOB\u2019s dividend yield?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On its recurring ordinary dividend, UOB\u2019s yield has historically sat in the low-to-mid 4% range, competitive with the other local banks. Trailing figures near 6% include one-off special dividends and overstate the repeatable yield. Because yield moves with the share price, check UOB\u2019s investor relations page for the current figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When is UOB\u2019s next dividend paid?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UOB pays twice a year. The interim dividend is declared with half-year results and usually paid in August; the final dividend is declared with full-year results in February and usually paid in May. You must hold the shares before the ex-dividend date to qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why did UOB\u2019s dividend fall in 2025?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ordinary dividend fell from S$1.80 (FY2024) to S$1.56 (FY2025) because the final dividend was trimmed to 71 cents. UOB set aside heavier pre-emptive provisions in 2025, which lowered profit, and the payout tracks profit at around half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is UOB\u2019s special dividend, and is it permanent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is part of a S$3 billion programme to return surplus capital, announced with the FY2024 results to mark the bank\u2019s 90th anniversary, paid through special dividends and share buybacks. A 50-cent special was paid across 2025. Because it draws on surplus capital rather than regular profit, it is finite, not a permanent part of the yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are UOB dividends taxed in Singapore?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Under Singapore\u2019s one-tier corporate tax system, dividends from Singapore-resident companies are tax-exempt in the shareholder\u2019s hands, and Singapore does not levy a capital gains tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do I buy UOB shares in Singapore?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simplest way is to buy U11 directly on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/trade\">Syfe Brokerage platform<\/a>: sign up, search the U11 ticker, and place your order, from as little as one board lot of 10 shares, held in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/what-is-cdp-account\/\">CDP or custodian account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-read-more\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Read More<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/singapore-stock-market-guide\/\">The Singapore stock market: a beginner\u2019s guide to the SGX<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/2023-best-dividend-stocks-in-singapore\/\">Best dividend stocks in Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/singapore-bank-earnings-dividend-outlook-investing-in-dbs-uob-and-ocbc-stocks\/\">Singapore bank earnings and dividend outlook: DBS, UOB and OCBC<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/how-to-buy-stocks-in-singapore\/\">How to buy stocks in Singapore<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice, or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any investment product, including United Overseas Bank (SGX: U11).
