UBA “U Connect” Platform: Banking Made Simple. A Personal Testimony

 

Abubakar Hashim

 

United Bank for Africa’s (UBA) “U Connect” platform has made banking simple, stress-free, and beneficial for financial transactions across Africa.

In West Africa, where I have worked for the past couple of years, I can testify authoritatively to the immense benefits of U Connect for my special projects across the region.

I have used the platform several times in Sierra Leone to withdraw U.S. dollars from my UBA Liberia account. I have also used the platform in Liberia, Nigeria, and Ghana to withdraw U.S. dollars from my UBA account in Sierra Leone, and vice versa.

Benefits of UBA U Connect

1. It makes banking easy. There are no more risks associated with travelling with cash from one country to another. You simply travel with a UBA cheque to be cashed in your country of destination.
2. Bank charges are extremely minimal, at just 1 percent.
3. There are no delays at any UBA branch when making withdrawals; transactions take less than five minutes.
4. All payments are made in U.S. dollars.
5. You are assured of receiving genuine U.S. dollar cash in your country of destination.

Indeed, U Connect is a revolution in banking transactions in Africa through digitalisation, as all UBA branches are technologically networked.

From my personal experience using the U Connect platform, there have never been network delays in any of my transactions.

UBA has demonstrated leadership in successful banking across Africa, the continent from which it derives its name.

UBA has made banking simpler. Apart from the U Connect platform, which offers insignificantly low bank charges and payments in U.S. dollars, there are other beneficial platforms available at UBA.

Even routine deposits and withdrawals have become seamless, with digitalisation replacing the crowded banking halls of the past.
