Keeping faith with its Legacies of Promos and in commemoration of its 75th anniversary, the United Bank for Africa, UBA, has set aside over N200 million to reward its loyal customers. Victoria Ojiako writes that while it is targeted at loyal customers, the bank continues to build its legacy of trust and excellence
Impact no doubt is a powerful tool which reverberates across disciplines, industries, and human experiences. At its core, impact signals the effect or influence of one object or entity on another. The power of vision which in many cases ties to making crucial decisions or implementing changes, can stimulate innovation, drive leadership, and spur growth particularly when it transcends generations. That is the classic story of United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, a global financial institution that has seen it consistently transform lives for 75 years and counting.
That is consistency in touching lives. It adds value to others as well as to your existence or that of your organisation. Consistency as they say opens the door to expertise and eventual greatness.
Talk about a global institution that has consistently touched lives, adding value while also meeting customers’ needs for over seven decades!
A short trip down memory lane will reveal that since its inception in 1949, UBA has evolved from its modest beginnings in Marina, Lagos Island to a global financial institution with presence in 20 African countries and four global financial nerve centres; New York, London, Paris and United Arab Emirates.
Today, the iconic success story of UBA since coming into existence 75 years ago, is tied to giving back to customers and building dreams and is a testament to vision and sheer determination that truly deserves commendation.
