Leading pan-African financial institution, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc., will not stop improving the lives of its customers as the children are not left out in the bank’s bid to make learning very easy for them.
The Africa’s global bank rewarded a total of 20 kids with N200,000 each as scholarship grants in its just concluded Kiddies and Teens Draw.
The draw which held in Lagos generated kids account holders whose parents/guardians had maintained standing instructions of N10,000 to their child/ward’s UBA Kiddies or Teens Accounts for a 6-month period. The draw was witnessed by representatives of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) and the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) as winners emerged from across all the regions of the country.
Okoye Gerald, one of the lucky winners whose father was contacted over the phone to break the good news expressed his excitement following the winning.
He said; “Thank you UBA, thank you. This is very thoughtful coming from the bank. It goes a long way in showing that UBA is indeed passionate and dedicated to the growth of its customers and their children. A bank that grooms the young is indeed a wise bank.”
Congratulating the winners after the draw, UBA’s Head, Personal Banking, Ogechi Altraide, said; “Apart from the monthly and quarterly rewards we give to our loyal customers in the UBA Bumper and Savings Promo, we have gone a step further to encourage parents to instill the savings culture on their kids and teenagers.”
“I will like to let you know that this is another first from UBA, and of course, we are very excited at this because it again goes to show that we take very seriously the mandate of ensuring financial inclusion and this time, we are catching them young and ensuring that as they grow they increasingly become financially discipline and can fuel their dreams to a happy end, which exactly what we are passionate about as a bank.”
Also, Head of Marketing, Diana Ubah, said; “Our bank, UBA, has continued to show and prove that, we are passionate about the overall growth and success of every customer and that is why we go ahead of others to innovate and come out with initiatives that are unique and can transform the lives of our customers for good.”
