KAMPALA —United Bank for Africa Uganda (UBA) received the Trailblazer Award 2021 from Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) at 16th Taxpayers’ Appreciation Awards 2021 held on Friday 10th, December 2021.

UBA is a leader in innovation and we aspire to provide advanced digital solutions to support our clients achieve their objectives more efficiently.
