United Bank for Africa (UBA) has been named Nigeria's Best ESG Bank and Nigeria's Best Retail Bank at the 2026 Euromoney Awards for Excellence.
The dual recognition highlights the lender's strategic focus on sustainable finance and consumer banking growth in a competitive domestic market.
The awards underscore UBA's efforts to align its operations with environmental, social, and governance criteria while expanding its retail footprint.
In an era where institutional investors increasingly weigh ESG metrics, the accolade serves as a validation of the bank's compliance and reporting frameworks.
The ceremony also saw Zenith Bank Plc named Africa's Best Bank, securing a second major accolade at the event.
The split in top honours reflects the depth of Nigeria's banking sector, with different lenders leading in distinct categories.
