In a significant move to bolster financial empowerment and promote a savings culture, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has unveiled the fifth edition of its Supersavers Promo, aptly themed “Season of Progress.” The nine-month campaign, running from September 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, was introduced at a press conference held at UBA House in Marina, Lagos, underscoring the bank’s enduring commitment to deepening financial inclusion and supporting Nigerians in achieving their financial aspirations.

The Supersavers Promo is designed to reward both new and existing customers while encouraging disciplined savings to help individuals and families plan for critical life goals, such as funding education, acquiring homes, establishing businesses, or meeting other personal milestones. By offering a variety of savings products tailored to diverse needs, UBA aims to integrate more Nigerians into the formal banking system, fostering economic empowerment and community development.

Speaking at the launch, UBA’s Group Deputy Managing Director, Chukwuma Nweke, highlighted the pivotal role of savings in nation-building. “This campaign is about more than just financial rewards; it’s about empowering Nigerians to take control of their future,” Nweke said. “Whether it’s securing quality education for children, owning a home, or building sustainable businesses, savings provide the foundation for progress. At UBA, we are committed to partnering with our customers to bridge economic gaps, break cycles of poverty, and create stronger, financially inclusive communities.”

The promo offers a range of opportunities for customers to participate and win. Those who open Bumper Accounts with a minimum deposit of N5,000 are eligible for monthly draws, with the chance to increase their odds by depositing in multiples. Other qualifying accounts include Individual Savings Accounts, requiring N10,000 monthly deposits for three consecutive months, as well as Kiddies, Teens, and NextGen Accounts tailored for younger savers. A standout feature of this year’s campaign is the inclusion of dormant account holders, who can qualify for special monthly N35,000 reactivation draws by funding their inactive accounts with N10,000.

Shamsideen Fashola, UBA’s Group Head of Retail and Digital Banking, reflected on the bank’s five-year journey of promoting savings culture in Nigeria. “Last year, as part of our 75th anniversary celebrations, we rewarded thousands of customers with approximately N150 million in prizes,” Fashola noted. “This year’s Season of Progress is even more ambitious, reflecting our commitment to rewarding loyal customers while welcoming new savers into the UBA family.” He emphasized that the promo’s expanded scope aims to reach a broader demographic, ensuring that savers across all age groups and economic backgrounds can benefit.

The reward structure is comprehensive, with quarterly star prizes of N1 million for 27 winners, alongside other quarterly prizes ranging from N500,000 to N10,000. Monthly airtime rewards, targeted cluster draws, and special categories for NextGen, Kiddies, and Teens account holders ensure inclusivity across all customer segments. To further enhance accessibility, UBA has introduced a new digital onboarding platform, allowing customers to open accounts online in real time without visiting a branch, a move that aligns with the bank’s mission to democratize banking services.

To ensure transparency, all draws will be conducted live under the supervision of regulatory bodies.
