Compensation & benefits

UBS is proud to be one of the first banks certified by the EQUAL-SALARY Foundation for its equal pay practices in Switzerland, the US, the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore in 2020.

A big part of being a great place to work is providing access to competitive benefits. UBS benefits – which include insurance, retirement, and personal leave – are custom-designed to meet the needs of the local employee base, and they often go beyond what’s legally required or common in that market.

The typical UBS Intern salary is SGD 30,000 per year. Intern salaries at UBS can range from SGD 16,800 -  SGD 60,000 per year. This estimate is based upon  UBS Intern salary report(s) provided by employees in Glassdoor.

Career progression

“Investing in the employees' development to help them thrive in an agile future”

UBS wants its employees to be able to build interesting careers. One way it does that is through its innovative Career Navigator platform – a self-service online talent management tool that encourages internal mobility across teams, functions, and business divisions. Employees can explore career paths, search for jobs and subject matter experts, and apply for short-term rotations, all while allowing the recruiters to easily source internal talent. And, if there are potential competency gaps, the tool will recommend appropriate training. Last year, Career Navigator helped 47,600 employees search for short-term job opportunities, find internal experts, discover possible career paths or match to open roles.

Work-life balance

The employees’ overall health and well-being are extremely important to UBS, and it has continued to adapt its support as employees’ needs and preferences have changed over time. Its comprehensive health and well-being offering includes a suite of programs, benefits, and workplace resources to help employees manage their work and personal life.

UBS  also actively support hybrid (a mix of office and home-working) options and flexible working arrangements (e.g., part-time, job-sharing, and partial-retirement roles), and it offers generous parental and family-care leave to help employees take care of their loved ones.
