African Bank has announced that it’s been chosen as the successful bidder to acquire the majority of Ubank’s disclosed assets and liabilities. It will also take Ubank’s employees on a going-concern basis if the proposed transaction goes through.

Ubank is a financial services provider with a strong presence in selected mining and rural communities. The bank was placed under curatorship by the Reserve Bank in May of this year on the back of corporate governance concerns, a high number of internal control weaknesses as well as capital requirement issues.

“This is really an acquisition of Ubank business by African Bank that is very much in line with what we announced last year. As our Accelerate 25 strategy’s vision is to return the bank into being the bank of the people, by the people, serving the people,” says African Bank CEO Kennedy Bungane. “We said at the time that we building a bank that is going to be customer centric, data and digital enabled but it would be diversified, scalable and sustainable. And we acquired Grindrod bank a few months ago. We are expanding the core of this bank and diversifying it into business banking. What businesses of UBank do for us is that they bring scale to our consumer banking and retail franchise”, Bungane concludes.

We are delighted to announce that African Bank is the successful bidder to acquire the majority of Ubank’s disclosed assets and liabilities.
