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.
