Commenting on the award, UBA\u2019s Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Liadi Ayoku who expressed his delight on the recognition stated: \u00a0\u2018These awards mark another milestone for the UBA Group and is a testament of the diligent execution of the bank\u2019s strategic initiatives on customer service. For us, being recognised as Bank of the Year complements positive feedback from customers and is a recognition of our improving efficiencies, service quality and innovation.<\/p>\n

While presenting the awards to the bank, the Editor, Independent Newspapers, Don Okere, noted that UBA has excelled in the key areas of prioritising customers, which, according to him, has earned the bank the highly coveted laurel.<\/p>\n

He explained that the bank stood out in prioritising customers and improving its technological offerings to accommodate the growing needs of its customers.<\/p>\n

He said that even though Africa\u2019s economic landscape has been unpredictable in recent times, a factor that has resulted in business challenges in Nigeria and some of Africa\u2019s best performing economies, UBA was still able to find its rhythm and excelled as is evident from its recently released first quarter results.<\/p>\n

United Bank for Africa Plc is a leading Pan-African financial institution, offering banking services to more than twenty million customers, across 1,000 business offices and customer touch points, in 20 African countries. With presence in New York, London and Paris, UBA is connecting people and businesses across Africa through retail, commercial and corporate banking, innovative cross-border payments and remittances, trade finance and ancillary banking services.<\/p>\n
