UBA as a Pan-African Brand: Philosophy, People and Reach
The United Bank for Africa (UBA) brand is a storied brand and Africa is the centrepiece of our entire business operations.
Our strong presence on the African continent is deliberate and it reflects our love for diversity and a multicultural system that encourages individual differences while rewarding collaborative excellence. We have about 15,000 multicultural, multilingual and highly diverse people who reflect the richness, diversity and uniqueness of the twenty (20) African countries we operate.
We place a premium on the growth, development and overall wellbeing of our people. Fondly referred to as ‘UBA Lions and Lionesses’, our strongest assets are the thousands of smart, resourceful and committed staff who work daily to build the UBA brand. They are our worthy ambassadors and we ensure they excel at what they do.
Working in UBA admits you into our tribe; you become part of a large community that supports one another to achieve big things, you gain international and cross-cultural team experience which ultimately broadens your worldview and better appreciation of Africa’s multicultural diversity. You become a part of the culture built and nurtured on values, resilience and dedication, a culture that makes us a role model for African businesses. This is why we call it a tribe.
Here at UBA, each person’s contribution is valued and is important to the overall vision of the company. You will do the work that you love, one that matters to you and will be involved in cross functional projects across all our geographies. Your creativity and unique insights will also thrive here in UBA as we encourage different ideas and perspectives. This is what makes us a tribe.
To sustain the excellence recorded over the years, we are kicking off a campaign to celebrate our most valued assets; our people, as well as our shared values and other things that make us a tribe. We also extend invitation to those who live by the values similar to ours, those who possess the necessary skill set and mindset to join us in building the next best thing in Africa.
