Nigeria: UBA's Diversified Business Model, Enhanced Digital Platforms Key to Financial Gains - Uzoka

United Bank for Africa Plc is Africa’s global bank with a presence in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and France and more recently the United Arab Emirates

Africa’s global bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, has assured its shareholders and investors of excellent performance in the 2022 financial year, as the bank continues to deepen its foothold to reap the benefits of its

investments in strong and innovative digital product offerings and expanded scope over the past few years.

The Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Kennedy Uzoka , noted that, together with its diversified business model and keen ventures into key markets in Africa and beyond,

It is expected that, as the operations continue to grow, the
