Empowering Communities, One Business at a Time


From our roots as a community bank to a fully licensed microfinance institution, UCB Microfinance Bank is committed to financial inclusion, responsible lending, and supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Our Journey


UCB Microfinance Bank Limited commenced operations as Umunya Community Bank, established to serve the financial needs of its host community and surrounding areas.

Following regulatory reforms in Nigeria’s banking sector and the introduction of the Microfinance Policy Framework by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Bank successfully transformed into a Microfinance Bank.

In line with CBN guidelines, the Bank was restructured, recapitalized, and rebranded as UCB Microfinance Bank Limited (UCB MFB). This transition strengthened our operational framework, enhanced governance structures, and positioned the Bank to deliver broader financial inclusion services to individuals, micro-entrepreneurs, and SMEs.
