United Bank for Africa (UBA) Executive Director and CEO for Africa, Abiola Bawuah, is on a three-day visit to Uganda to strengthen the bank’s commitment to the country’s economic growth and financial sector.
During her visit, Bawuah is engaging with key stakeholders, including government officials, business leaders, and customers, to explore opportunities for growth and expansion. She reaffirmed UBA’s dedication to driving trade, investment, and financial integration across Africa, with Uganda playing a pivotal role in this vision.
“We are proud of our presence in Uganda and our contribution to the country’s financial landscape,” Bawuah stated. “Our goal is to facilitate trade, investment, and economic integration across Africa, and Uganda is a critical partner in this journey.”
Bawuah also highlighted UBA’s focus on digital banking, trade finance, and SME support, leveraging the bank’s partnership with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
“UBA is committed to innovation and customer satisfaction—our customers always come first,” she added. “We will continue investing in cutting-edge technology and tailored financial solutions to meet the evolving needs of our Ugandan clients.”
UBA has been operating in Uganda since 2008, initially with two branches in Kampala and one in Jinja. Today, the bank has expanded its footprint across all regions, including Central, Western, Eastern, and Northern Uganda, offering a wide range of financial services such as corporate and retail banking, trade finance, and treasury services.
