The UOB Lady's Platinum MasterCard is the first Platinum card exclusive to ladies. The Card caters to the elite woman with special privileges for fashion, beauty and wellness, dining and golfing, including concessions at prestigious fashion outlets and exclusive invitations to fashion events and sale previews. UOB was the first to recognise the unique interests of women and specially created the UOB MasterCard Lady's Card in 1989.
UOB's Executive Vice President, Ms Sim Puay Suang, said, "With the launch of the UOB Lady's Platinum MasterCard, UOB continues to take the lead in the consumer credit card market by introducing innovative products specially tailored for specific market segments. We designed the UOB Lady's Platinum MasterCard to complement the lifestyle of the sophisticated, successful and independent woman, who knows who she is and what she wants. The UOB Lady's Platinum MasterCard is a celebration of all things female, and offers a myriad of exclusive privileges for the woman who is at the pinnacle of her life."
"The UOB Lady's Platinum Card is an embodiment of the quintessential modern woman's success and advancement. Over the years, MasterCard has developed a deep understanding of what is important to women and their consumption needs. The success of our existing UOB Lady's Card programme attests to this. The Lady's Platinum Card programme comes with an exquisite collection of benefits and offers that complement the needs and desires of the urbane, sophisticated woman and MasterCard is delighted to be collaborating once again with UOB in launching this card," said T.V. Seshadri, vice president and country manager, Singapore, and regional account leader, South East Asia, MasterCard International.
