UBA rewards customer loyalty with over ₦400m anniversary bonus

Africa’s Global Bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, has rewarded thousands of customers with more than ₦400 million in anniversary bonuses under its flagship UBA Bumper Account, reinforcing its commitment to rewarding customer loyalty and encouraging a strong savings culture.

The payout, one of the largest since the Bumper Account was introduced, saw eligible customers receive cash bonuses directly into their accounts, reflecting the bank’s drive to create lasting value for customers who consistently save with UBA.

The UBA Bumper Account is a unique savings product designed to reward customers for maintaining and growing their savings. Eligible account holders receive annual cash bonuses on their account anniversary, making disciplined saving both rewarding and beneficial over time.

Speaking on the milestone, UBA’s Head of Retail Products, Tomiwa Sotiloye, said the initiative underscores the bank’s dedication to recognising customers who continue to entrust their financial aspirations to UBA.

“At UBA, we believe customer loyalty deserves meaningful recognition. Every bonus paid is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to customers who continue to trust us with their financial aspirations. Surpassing the ₦400 million milestone reflects our commitment to creating products that not only help customers save but also reward them in tangible ways. It is another demonstration that when our customers grow, we grow with them,” Sotiloye said.

He added that both new and existing customers can open a UBA Bumper Account through any UBA branch, the UBA Mobile Banking App, by dialling *919#, or online via the bank’s dedicated platform, enabling them to qualify for future anniversary rewards.

Also speaking, UBA’s Group Head, Brands, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Alero Ladipo, said the Bumper Account reflects the bank’s customer-first philosophy and commitment to delivering products that provide real value.

“The UBA Bumper Account reflects our unwavering commitment to putting customers first. We deliberately design products that reward responsible financial behaviour while delivering real value. Crediting over ₦400 million directly into customers’ accounts is not just a payout; it is evidence of our promise to make banking more rewarding and to continually appreciate the confidence our customers repose in us,” she said.

The UBA Bumper Account remains one of the bank’s flagship retail savings products, combining attractive loyalty rewards, competitive savings benefits and digital convenience. It also forms part of UBA’s broader strategy to deepen financial inclusion by encouraging sustainable savings habits while enhancing customer experience.
