United Bank for Africa(UBA) has introduced a unique and innovative product, called ‘UBA Learn’ targeted at helping students achieve all round academic success.

The product, an online learning platform for students powered by Roducate, was launched yesterday, with particular emphasis on helping students within the age of 5-16 years and 17-24 attain academic excellence, while ensuring that parents and teachers keep track and monitor their ward’s educationa­l developmen­t and performanc­e.

UBA Learn is accessible online, through a downloadab­le mobile app and USSD (*919*33#) and is open to both existing customers and non-customers. Intending customers can have account numbers automatica­lly generated once they enrol on the platform. The platform features academic curricula (e.g. WAEC), NECO, Continuous assessment­s and tests, financial education, learning/fun games, etc.

Speaking at the launch of the product, Group Managing Director, Kennedy Uzoka, said: “United Bank for Africa is a technology-driven company with enormous capability in business. Because education is key to us and is a fundamenta­l human right, we felt a need to extend our capability to education, by revolution­ising access to education through technology.”

“The app is a distinctiv­e and well-tailored product loaded with all the needed learning tools and required subjects put together in a robust manner that is guaranteed to grow with the student early on to when he or she becomes a young adult,” Uzoka added.
