GW Platt Foreign Exchange Bank Awards 2026: Asia-Pacific

UOB processes more than $200 billion in daily FX volumes, leveraging disciplined pricing and a deep ASEAN footprint to connect regional flows with global markets.

Over the past two decades, Asia-Pacific’s FX infrastructure has evolved from fragmented, voice-driven markets into a highly automated, multi-hub ecosystem centered on Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Sydney.

Rising trade flows, regulatory liberalization, and electronic trading transformed FX execution, settlement, and risk management across the region, while preserving local market complexities such as managed currencies and NDFs.

Against this backdrop, our regional winner successfully aligned its FX capabilities with Asia’s economic reality. The firm’s deep network, localized liquidity, and integrated digital FX and cash-management platforms position it as a leader supporting trade-driven, multi-currency flows at scale.
