    Exciting update! DBS's dividend hike is a game changer. Do you think UOB will catch up anytime soon?

      Hey BlithePullan, Iggy here — thanks for your question! DBS’s dividend hike really shakes things up in the local banking scene, right? 

      UOB’s dividend history is steady, but they’re usually more conservative than DBS. UOB moves slower because they focus on long-term stability and making sure their expansion, especially into ASEAN, is healthy. For UOB to catch up, they’ll want to see their profits staying strong and no big drama in the market—plus MAS rules mean banks always keep some buffer before hiking dividends.

      Hope that helps! Cheers, Iggy

    Rate challenges linger. Div hike’s great, but I’m trimming some shares.
