The Chairman of UBA Group, Tony Elumelu, in the presence of President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria and President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has signed a landmark business cooperation agreement with the French Finance Minister, Antoine Armand.
The agreement is a significant indication of support by the French Government for the development of UBA’s full banking operations in France.
The signing of the agreement formed a crucial part of the State Visit of President Tinubu to France, which began on Wednesday.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Elumelu said: “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.”
United Bank for Africa is one of the largest employers in the financial sector on the African continent, with 25,000 employees group wide and serving over 45 million customers globally.
