The United Bank for Africa (UBA) has announced that it is set to commence full banking operations in France.
Edum News reports that the announcement was made by the bank after it announced that it signed a deal to commence operations in France.
According to a statement released late Thursday, the banking group said the landmark business cooperation agreement with the French Finance Minister, Antoine Armand, was part of President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to France.
During the visit, the Chairman of UBA Group, Tony Elumelu, in the presence of Tinubu and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, signed the agreement indicative of support by the French Government for the development of UBA’s full banking operations in France.
According to him, “This partnership reinforces our commitment to seamless international banking services for our customers, not just across the 11 Francophone African countries we serve, but Africa as a whole and French and European customers transacting with Africa.
“Expanding into France is a natural progression, with Paris serving as our European Union hub as we continue to bring Africa and the world together through innovative financial solutions. Paris will join London, New York, and Dubai as a critical component of our unique global network.”
