United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Africa’s Global Bank, is thrilled to introduce its highly anticipated “Back2School” package, a comprehensive initiative aimed at providing exclusive discounts and benefits for both students and their parents as the new school session commences.
UBA’s commitment to supporting a seamless educational journey for students and easing the financial burdens of parents is at the forefront of this innovative offering. Prince Ayewoh, UBA’s Head of Retail, Products, and Sales, emphasized the bank’s recognition of education’s pivotal role in shaping the future. This led to the development of strategic offerings and collaborations to enable families to embrace the new school season with enthusiasm and confidence.
“We want our customers – both long-standing and new ones – to know that we are more than just a financial institution; we are a dependable partner in their daily journey,” stated Ayewoh. “With exclusive discounts and benefits tailored for both children and parents, we aim to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with every new school season. This initiative reflects our holistic approach to banking, where we consider not only the financial needs of our customers but also their well-being and aspirations.”
Under the UBA ‘Back2School’ package, parents stand to enjoy a range of benefits, including scholarships, affordable healthcare plans, and a 13th-month cash reward for their children when they open and maintain a UBA Kiddies and Teens Account with N5,000 for 12 months or N10,000 for six months.
Furthermore, the bank is offering a UBA Personal loan, granting parents access to up to N30 million to ensure their children receive a world-class education.
Alero Ladipo, UBA’s Group Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, elaborated on the array of offerings available to the bank’s customers this season. She explained that by using a UBA prepaid or debit card, customers can access a world of discounts for their children and themselves.
“This season, UBA presents an array of exciting benefits that come with their prepaid or debit cards,” Ladipo noted. “For instance, students can enjoy a 10% discount on ULesson packages when customers pay with their UBA card, ensuring their after-school learning is both affordable and effective.”
