Notwithstanding the challenging business and economic environment occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, the pan African financial institution was able to deliver growth in its gross earnings which rose to N300.6bn up from N294bn recorded in the same period of 2019.

UBA’s Group Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Kennedy Uzoka, said, “We recorded commendable growth in our underlying business in terms of customer acquisition, transaction volumes and balance sheet whilst inflation, depressed yield environment and exchange rate volatilities impacted our net earnings as anticipated.”

UBA’s Group CFO, Ugo Nwaghodoh said “Our H1 2020 results reflect the inherent benefits of diversification as we have seen marked growth in contribution from the subsidiaries across Africa.”
