In a significant stride towards enhancing financial inclusion in Nigeria, Peter Ashade, the Group CEO of United Capital PLC and Branch Chairman, has proudly announced the launch of the company’s new banking subsidiary, UCEE Microfinance Bank. This landmark event marks the culmination of years of strategic planning and dedication to addressing the financial needs of Nigerians.
Reflecting on the journey that led to this moment, Ashade stated, “A few years ago, we recognized the daily challenges faced by hardworking Nigerians who sought access to credit to advance their businesses and achieve personal milestones. With this understanding, we made a deliberate decision to venture into the financial inclusion space.”
Today, that vision has come to fruition with the introduction of UCEE Microfinance Bank, a forward-thinking institution that seamlessly blends the cutting-edge technology, user-friendly experience, and flexibility of a digital bank with the reliable and time-honored infrastructure of a traditional microfinance bank. This hybrid model is set to revolutionize the way banking is experienced by millions of Nigerians, offering them a unique combination of convenience and security.
In his address, Ashade expressed deep gratitude to Tony O. Elumelu, C.F.R, the special guest of honour at the launch, acknowledging his immeasurable contributions to the expansion and success of the United Capital PLC group. “Tony Elumelu’s support has been instrumental in our growth journey, and his influence continues to inspire our commitment to empowering Nigerians through financial services,” Ashade noted.
As UCEE Microfinance Bank opens its doors to the public, Ashade urged Nigerians to embrace the opportunities it offers, stating, “As you go about your daily activities, always remember that UCEE is here for you. We are committed to being a reliable partner in your financial journey.”
This launch signals a new chapter for United Capital PLC as it expands its footprint in the Nigerian financial landscape, reinforcing its commitment to fostering economic growth and inclusivity.
