Today’s United Bank for Africa Plc (UBA) is the product of the merger of the old UBA and the erstwhile Standard Trust Bank Plc (STB), and a subsequent acquisition of the erstwhile Continental Trust Bank Limited (CTB).Our history dates back to the founding of the old UBA in 1961, and the erstwhile STB and CTB both in 1990. Although today’s UBA emerged at a time of industry consolidation induced by regulation, the consolidated UBA was borne out of a desire to lead the domestic sector to a new era of global relevance by championing the creation of the Nigerian consumer finance market, leading a private/public sector partnership at supporting the acceleration of Nigeria’s economic development, and growing the institution from a banking to a one-stop financial services institution.
