We protect our systems and networks from the Internet with Firewall systems.
We use 128-bit SSL encryption technology to protect sensitive information that is transmitted over the Internet.
We maintain a Global Digital Certificate signed by Verisign® that assures you are, in fact, communicating directly with UBA Bank.
We control access to your information inside our company by limiting employee access to systems and data.

What You Should Do

Alerts Regarding Phishing and Web-Spoofing

Phishing is an Internet scam (spoof) in the form of an email or pop-up box. The emails and pop-ups link to sites that look like well-known legitimate businesses and ask you to provide and confirm personal, financial, or password information.
Legitimate businesses do not ask for this information unless you initiate a request for a service. Please DO NOT RESPOND to these emails requesting personal identity, accounts or password information.
Scam emails often contain misspelled words, poor grammar, awkward or unprofessional writing and typos.
Be suspicious of urgent or alarming appeals that request security information.
If you believe you have received a phishing email that claims to be from UBA Bank forward the suspicious email to cfc@ubagroup.com

Whistle Blowing

To foster a healthy Corporate Governance environment within any institution, it is important that there are robust policies around Ethics, Professional Conduct and Corporate Governance which are well documented and communicated. Due to the nature of these policies, their breach would normally be concealed by the perpetrators. UBA Group treats instances where these high standards are not met seriously as non-compliance could be damaging to the reputation of the bank, both from a commercial and regulatory perspective.

It is in this context that UBA Group has instituted the Whistle Blowing policy which provides a channel for every employee/stakeholder to comment freely and constructively on issues concerning UBA Group or report any alleged unethical conduct (including fraud) that has or may have negative consequences to the Group, without fear of disclosure of their identity. UBA Group is committed to ensuring that issues brought to its attention through these channels are investigated in a timely and objective manner for appropriate action. In addition, the bank will, subject to its discretion/rules, reward staff/stakeholders whose disclosures lead to protection of the UBA Group’s human, material or other assets including reputation.

Disclosures can be made through calls or messages to the Whistle Blowing Toll Free Phone Lines and e-mail address displayed on the bank’s website for UBA Nigeria and each of the subsidiaries by following the link below or visiting www.ubagroup.com/countries

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.
