Thanks for letting me know. I ended up sending the money from Wise to SCB, which was instant, and then onto UOB. My only reason for wanting to send it directly to UOB was to skip the hassle of all the facial recognition scans. To make the transfer from SCB to UOB, I first had to raise my SCB transfer limits (which I keep low by default for security), scan my face to approve the change, scan my face again to make the transfer, and then scan my face a third time to lower the limits back down. It wasn't a huge deal, just a bit of extra work, and everything went through smoothly. It's a shame UOB hasn't gotten onboard with Wise yet, but realistically, I usually only transfer money into UOB once a year. Since it's an annual thing, doing it in two steps isn't a big deal. If I were doing weekly or monthly transfers, I'd probably be a lot more bothered by it, but luckily I don't have to.
