Embassies, Multilaterals, Development Organizations, NGOs & Foundations

Case Study: Norwegian Refugee Council  

As an extension of UBA’s commitment to the international community, we work with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) in Dakar, Senegal.    

NRC is one of the largest independent humanitarian organizations, providing aid in 30 countries through saving lives and rebuilding the future for refugees.  

UBA aids the organization’s efforts through foreign currency acquisition, account functioning, local transfers, international transfers, and digital solutions.  

Case Study: Embassy of India in Brazzaville   

As an extension of UBA’s commitment to the international community, we work with the Embassy of India’s Federal Government Office in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo.  

The Indian Embassy in the Republic of the Congo is one of the five largest embassies in the country. UBA provides foreign currency acquisition, account functioning, term deposits, local transfers, international transfers, and digital solutions. 

Case Study: UN Women   

Emerging evidence on the impact of COVID-19 suggests that women’s economic and productive lives have been greatly affected across the globe. UN Women recently signed a contract with UBA in Nigeria to provide payment services for cash transfer projects in 10 Nigerian states, to households of targeted vulnerable women and girls that have been severely impacted by the pandemic.   

As the organization’s payment services provider (PSP), UBA has commenced mass account opening for approximately 10,000 women beneficiaries in Nigeria and set up cash disbursement to the beneficiaries in two tranches.   

This project will make a tremendous impact on the lives of women throughout Nigeria. These cash transfers will reduce the need for child labor, thereby increasing school attendance; increase the ability of women to make their own decisions on marriage and fertility; and reduce economic hardship throughout the country.                         

Case Study: British Council   

British Council, the United Kingdom’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, has been working in Nigeria since 1943, providing networks, platforms and educators to young people throughout the country.  

Prior to 2020, payments to British Council in Nigeria were made solely through bank checks and cash payments. UBA helped deploy an online payment system that enables candidates to pay their fees online and the organization to accept recurring payments through a customized system.   

This solution, implemented in March of 2020, was the first successful customised solution for British Council in Africa. Following this successful campaign, British Council and UBA have agreed to rollout to an additional six African countries: Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Senegal, Kenya, and Zambia.
