The celebration of women’s month presents yet another opportune time to spark conversations on women’s economic empowerment.

When women are economically empowered, they are equipped with the education, training, and skills they need to get a job, earn an income, and become a life support within their various communities.

It further changes their lives, as they are no longer financially dependent on someone else for their basic needs.

Enabling women to become economically empowered comes in different ways: Expanding women’s networks, strengthening their capabilities, and creating institution laws and policies that support women, among others.

Building their financial resources can also help women become economically empowered. Having a financial partner that helps manage women’s finances is also an important step to achieving economic empowerment and promoting financial inclusion for women.

Women’s economic empowerment is at the heart of UBA. The bank, as part of its objectives to promote financial inclusion through impactful initiatives, has designed a special account to support women.
