Come December, UBA is giving incentives to encourage the bank’s customers to go cashless. The incentives are being announced in consideration of the fact that most people tend to shop heavily for the festive season in December, which forces them to carry around a significant amount of cash putting their money and their personal safety at risk. UBA is urging its customers to take advantage of all these offerings to carry out cashless transactions during the festive season.
 
To encourage customers to adopt the cashless option for their transactions, customers that carry out the most cashless transactions in December will be rewarded with different prizes including the new iPad Air, Samsung Galaxy S4, Blackberry Q5, Techno Phantom A1 and Infinix Race Bolt X450. The higher the amount and quantity of cashless transactions carried out by a customer, the better the reward the customer stands to get.

Sellers or Merchants of goods and services who also encourage their customers to pay for their goods or services with UBA cards or through U-Mobile or U-Direct also stand to benefit from different reward systems put in place by the bank including an iPad Air, reserved for the merchant that is able to attract the most cashless transactions.

Beyond rewarding Customers and Merchants for using electronic channels, UBA has proven to be the major advocate of convenience banking by implementing internally and turning its Staff into ‘cashless gospellers’.

To ensure security for Customers during the festive season, UBA has put in place world-class security systems for round the clock transaction monitoring..
“Going cashless during this festive period is not only the convenient way to shop this season, but it also enhances your personal safety and protects your hard earned money”  said Dr. Yinka Adedeji, Divisional Head, e-banking

The bank says going cashless means customers abstaining from all forms of cash transactions including withdrawing cash from ATMs and adopting POS as well as mobile and internet banking platforms to pay for all their shopping needs in the month of December.

UBA also has U-Direct, an internet banking platform that will enable customers also do most of their transactions from a desk top computer, laptop or tablet anywhere they are anytime of the day seven days of the week.
