The Liberian subsidiary of pan-African bank United Bank for Africa (UBA) announced the launch of a brand new mobile banking application on Monday (April 16th) in Monrovia.
According to UBA-Liberia’s Managing Director, Olalekan Balogun, “the issue of overcrowded banking halls poses a serious challenge and a loss of productivity to customers, as well as to the banking institution, which can only be solved with help of the country’s digital banking system “.
In the name of innovation Mr. Balogun announces that over the last two months, UBA Liberia has launched the AMEU card for students only and allows them to make payments online. Also, for about a year, the bank has signed another digital product with the Liberian government that allows its customers to get their passports and pay all their taxes and fees collected online; this platform also works for the government.
“The digitization of the banking system in Liberia is UBA’s main goal and will stimulate the economy, create efficiencies and provide a secure experience for subscribers,” said Olalekan Balogun.
UBA’s new mobile banking services will use Lonestar Cell MTN and Orange Liberia outlets.
