UBA—United Bank for Africa Plc, Africa’s Global Bank, has unveiled its vastly improved Point of Sale (POS) terminal and the UBA MONI App to redefine the digital payment landscape and empower small and medium-scale enterprises across Africa.
The upgraded platforms are part of the bank’s ongoing campaign, which has the theme Innovation for Progress: Empowering SMEs, Connecting Communities, Simplifying Banking.
The newly improved PoS, which provides customers with efficiency and ease in transacting their businesses, boasts exciting features designed to boost efficiency, transparency, and trust for merchants, including instant settlement, real-time monitoring, pay-by-link functionality, and a 100% transaction success rate.
With the new service, customers can enjoy flexibility. The terminals have been equipped to serve businesses of all sizes, providing the speed, reliability, and fast-paced services demanded by today’s merchants.
The UBA MONI App, designed to strengthen UBA’s agency banking network further, has also been modified with new features, including instant settlement, pay-by-transfer options, secret question security, an enhanced inbox, and a redesigned homepage. This offers agents and customers an even more intuitive and secure experience. In addition to its core features of instant account opening with BVN/NIN, real-time transfers, cash deposits and withdrawals, airtime/data payments with agent discounts, and instant POS deployment remain at the heart of the app.
Speaking on the modified features of both platforms, UBA’s Group Head, Retail and Digital Banking, Shamsideen Fashola, said that as a forward-thinking financial institution, UBA is always on the lookout for modern ways to improve its services and offerings and give customers top-notch experiences while conducting their daily business.

With UBA’s extensive reach and robust infrastructure, we bring convenience and confidence to every transaction. With the upgraded MONI App, we are equipping our agents, many of whom serve smaller communities, with faster tools, greater transparency, and an enhanced user experience to help them grow their businesses while serving millions of underserved customers.”
