• UBA’s financial year-end was originally March of each year. After the merger of UBA and STB, with effect from 1 August 2005, the bank’s financial year-end was changed to September. However, with the CBN policy on uniform year end, the reporting period is now December. In addition, UBA reports interim results of the group every three months to the Nigerian Stock Exchange and to shareholders in the Nigerian Press within 15 days after the expiration of the reporting period.

Currently UBA shares are listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. UBA also has an unlisted (Global Depository Receipt) programme currently administered by the Bank of New York Mellon
