United Bank for Africa (UBA) has commemorated Africa Day with a renewed commitment to championing financial inclusion and driving economic development across the continent. Celebrated annually on May 25, Africa Union Day was marked by UBA last Friday under the theme of unity, progress, and empowerment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Henry Nii Dottey, Regional Head for Marketing and Corporate Communications at UBA West Africa, emphasized the bank\u2019s belief in the continent\u2019s vast potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cUBA believes passionately in Africa. We are dedicated to developing the continent by leveraging African resources to build the Africa that Africans want,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

This aligns with the vision of UBA Group Chairman, Tony Elumelu, who is a staunch advocate of \u201cAfricapitalism\u201d\u2014a philosophy that champions African-led development using local talent, innovation, and resources.<\/p>\n

In line with this vision, UBA has introduced transformative banking solutions designed to break down barriers and connect Africans financially.<\/p>\n

Notable among these is UBA Connect, which allows customers to send and receive money across 20 African countries using just a national ID\u2014no bank account required.<\/p>\n

Another innovation, the \u201cOne Account, 20 Countries\u201d feature, enables seamless banking across borders, allowing customers to access their accounts and carry out transactions in any of UBA\u2019s operating countries. This initiative underscores the bank\u2019s mission to drive economic integration and connectivity within Africa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To inspire deeper dialogue around African development, UBA is also hosting the \u201cUp Africa Conversations\u201d\u2014a thought leadership series featuring renowned experts who share strategies for sustainable growth.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event featured a leading economist who outlined actionable steps for building a prosperous, self-sufficient continent.<\/p>\n

Additionally, UBA is supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through its Africa Continental Free Trade and Loan Facility, offering vital funding and resources to help businesses expand and thrive across borders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As Africa Day is celebrated, UBA reaffirms its commitment to empowering African communities through inclusive financial services, innovation, and strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n

With a strong belief in Africa\u2019s future, the bank continues to lead the charge in creating a financially empowered and economically vibrant continent.<\/p>\n
