Redesign: UBA Adjusts Banking Hours For Naira Notes Deposit

The United Bank for Africa (UBA) has altered its hours so that clients can deposit their current naira notes before the release of new ones in December 2022.

On Wednesday, the Central Bank of Nigeria announced the redesign of the naira and said the new notes would go into circulation on December 15.

In order to avoid a ban in January 2023, UBA has urged its customers to deposit current naira notes with the bank.

“On 26th October 2022, CBN announced the introduction of new Naira notes, which will come into circulation on December 15th 2022, whilst existing Naira notes will remain legal tender until January 2023,” the circular read.

“Don’t panic, we are adjusting our branch opening hours for your convenience. We will open Saturday (Cash deposit only) from 10 am to 2 pm.

“Zero charges will apply for all cash deposits. Have your debit card handy for payments on POS terminals.”

“If you do not have a digital channel, please download the New UBA Mobile app from your App Store or access one of our other channels – Leo, Internet Banking, *919 for your transactions.
