Banking has
gone social
Social media is no longer just for digital natives. The banks have joined
the race to go online to meet up their customers. Many banks, includ-
ing UBA are using social media not only to engage but to actually bank
people.
In our lead article, we examine some of the innovative ways in which
social media banking is evolving in Africa and across the world, high-
lighting our unique approach through ‘U Social’.
Summer is here and it is time to indulge in your #SummerCrush. Where
are the greatest destinations in Africa? This edition of the Lion King
Magazine (LKM) will inspire you to take a holiday and in doing so don’t
forget your UBA card and its world of possibilities.
UBA Kenya is our ‘Country in Focus’. The country subsidiary heralded our
expansion to East Africa. Read about the land of the ‘Harambe Stars’ and
see what Isaac Mwige, MD, UBA Kenya tells us about banking in Kenya
and plans to dominate the industry.
As usual, this edition of LKM will keep you engaged from beginning
to the end. Please do read through and endeavor to send us your
feedback.
Thank you.
