United Overseas Bank (UOB) and UnionPay International have launched the SplendorPlus Campaign, giving UOB UnionPay cardholders up to 5% cashback on purchases made in mainland China until December 31.

The initiative comes as travel between Singapore and China continues to expand.

Changi Airport reported a 15.8% year-on-year increase in Singapore, China passenger traffic in the second quarter of 2025, nearly three times higher than the airport’s overall growth of 5.9% during the same period.

The campaign is positioned against this backdrop of growing demand, with Singaporeans continuing to regard China as one of their most visited destinations.

Under the scheme, UOB UnionPay cardholders are entitled to 2% cashback on eligible retail purchases both locally and overseas without any minimum spend requirement.

An additional 3% cashback applies to eligible in-store and online purchases in mainland China when processed through the UnionPay network, excluding transactions made via third-party mobile wallets such as Alipay and WeixinPay.

The maximum cashback on spending in mainland China is capped at S$50 per card each month.

UOB and UnionPay maintain a long-term partnership focused on developing cross-border payment solutions and improving customer experiences across the region.

UOB is one of the leading local banks in Singapore to issue a UnionPay credit card, contributing to the expansion of UnionPay’s presence in the market.

UnionPay cards are widely accepted in Singapore, including across retail, dining, transport, and tourism sectors, supported by UOB’s merchant network.
