Historic Milestones
Founded over 45 years ago, UBA was the first Nigerian Bank to be listed on The Nigerian Stock Exchange by way of an IPO in 1970. The bank was also the first to issue a Global Depositary Receipt (GDR) which has attracted significant foreign investment. In 2005, UBA merged with Standard Trust Bank Plc in advance of the reform-induced banking consolidation, the first successful merger in the Nigerian banking industry, creating the current UBA Plc.

Today the consolidated UBA is the largest financial services institution in Nigeria and West Africa, operating out of two of the most vibrant economies in the sub-region – Nigeria and Ghana. UBA also has presence in New York and in the Cayman Islands.
