At the launch event, UBA’s Group Managing Director/CEO, Oliver Alawuba, highlighted that the new card not only honors UBA’s commitment to long-standing customer relationships but also enhances their banking experience with unique perks. Among these are limited-time benefits such as a 25% discount on purchases via Jumia and a $75 cashback on transactions made through AliExpress.
Alawuba noted that the initiative reflects a shared vision between UBA and Mastercard to empower customers across Africa with secure and convenient financial solutions. “This card represents the strengthening of our relationship and our joint mission to empower millions of Nigerians and Africans by facilitating access to secure, efficient transactions and expanded opportunities,” he stated.
