The United Bank for Africa (UBA) recently clinched five country awards, winning Bank of The Year 2016 in Gabon, Congo-Brazzaville, Senegal, Cameroon and Chad at the annual Bankers Award in London.
The Group Managing Director/CEO, UBA Plc, Kennedy Uzoka dedicated the winnings to the customers, whose loyalty, support and patronage he said have “remained the fountain of the group’s growth and competitive edge in the African continent.
“The recognition speaks volumes. It validates the strong management, staff committment to service excellence, sound business model and prudent risk management in these country subsidiaries. We will keep up the good work.”
The UBA haul was one of the highest by any banking Group and a key highlight of the ceremony, which took place at Hilton London Bankside.
Organised every year in the last 17 years by The Banker Magazine; a publication of the Financial Times, the awards aim to highlight industry wide excellence within the global banking community.
Over 1,000 applications are collected and judges select winners, based on pre-set metrics that measure progress over the past 12 months.
