In a statement sent to Voice of Naija Communications, the company noted that the collaboration, which led to the creation of the award-winning UBA Mobile App, has dramatically reshaped the digital banking landscape across Africa.
It states that to commemorate the 10-year milestone, UBA has rolled out a Special UBA/VERiCASH Celebratory Promo aimed at rewarding loyal mobile app users.

“This partnership with VERiCASH has been instrumental in positioning UBA as Africa’s premier digital banking institution.
“We’ve not only made banking seamless and secure, but also accessible to the unbanked—enabling millions of Africans to join the formal financial system from their mobile phones,” Fashola said.
He noted that the UBA Mobile App, with over 10 million downloads, is among Nigeria’s most downloaded financial apps, reinforcing the bank’s status as a digital trailblazer.
Chairman of CIT VERiCASH, Ashraf Zaki, expressed pride in the decade-long alliance, calling it a demonstration of what’s possible when fintech innovation meets bold banking leadership.
“Our collaboration with UBA has transformed not just our institutions but the African banking experience as a whole. The result is a world-class digital platform that rivals the very best globally,” Zaki said.
UBA’s Group Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, Alero Ladipo, also emphasized the customers’ role in the app’s success.
“We are deeply grateful to our over 10 million users. Your feedback, loyalty, and trust have driven us to constantly innovate. The celebratory promo is our way of saying thank you,” she said.
