SINGAPORE--Local bank United Overseas Bank (UOB) launched its first-ever mobile app, which allows customers to withdraw and send money to others without having to use an automated teller machine (ATM) card. It is touted to be the first such service here, said executives.

Wendy Teo, head of channels for group retail at UOB, revealed during a media briefing that customers will be able to download the UOB Mobile iOS app from the Apple App Store on Monday. It is looking to release apps for the Android and BlackBerry mobile platforms, as well as a mobile Web version, early next year, she added.
