United Bank for Africa (UBA) celebrated its 15-year milestone in Sierra Leone with the launch of its UBA Legacy Promo at the bank’s head office on Charlotte Street.

The event, held on Friday, marked both the bank’s 75th global anniversary and its significant presence in the country.

Sallieu, Head of Communication, opened the event by highlighting the purpose of the promotion. “This promo is a way for us to thank our customers and celebrate our anniversary by giving back,” he said. The campaign will see 60 customers win various cash prizes, reflecting UBA’s commitment to acknowledging the support and trust of its clientele.

Chief Operating Officer Chiedu Ngene emphasized that the promotion is a key component of the anniversary celebrations. “We believe that celebrating our 15 years in Sierra Leone is best done by giving back to those who have been with us through the years,” he stated. Ngene also noted UBA’s significant contributions to Sierra Leone’s financial sector, including its pioneering role with AI-driven account opening via WhatsApp and being the first in West Africa to install an ATM.

Ngene introduced the bank’s range of account options, such as the UBA Sharp Sharp account, which can be opened with a minimum deposit of Le10. “Having an account is not just a privilege but a responsibility,” he added, encouraging everyone to take advantage of the bank’s accessible services.

The official launch was conducted by Christiana Saio Lamina, Head of Retail Banking, who outlined the promo’s details. “We have established many legacies over the years and are committed to continuing this tradition,” Lamina said. The promo will offer three prize tiers: Le10,000 for twenty winners, Le5,000 for another twenty, and Le2,500 for twenty more. The draws will occur in two phases: one in September and the second in the last week of December.

To participate, customers must deposit Le10,000 to be eligible for the top prize, or as little as Le2,000 for the lower category. Deposits must remain in the account until the draw is completed, with larger deposits increasing the chances of winning.

UBA’s Legacy Promo reflects the bank’s ongoing dedication to enhancing customer engagement and celebrating its long-standing impact on Sierra Leone’s financial landscape.
