By ubasierraleone on May 8, 2020

 

 

 

UBA WhatsApp Banking is now live and people can now transact using their beloved WhatsApp app. The WhatsApp application is arguably the best messaging app thanks to its ease of use. Now, you can carry out some basic banking activities on your WhatsApp Application simply by chatting with Leo – UBA’s Artificial Intelligence Personality. Some of the banking activities you can perform via WhatsApp includes:

  • Check Account Balance.
  • Airtime Top Up.
  • Cash Transfer.
  • Bills Payments etc.

While this seems like a welcome development, there are still some issues. For one, you would obviously need an internet connection to be able use the WhatsApp Application to chat with Leo. There is also the issue of some phones not being able to install the WhatsApp Application. If you fall into any of the above category then you can make use of their USSD Banking option which offers almost the same features. Now, let’s get down to how to set up the UBA WhatsApp Banking on your Smartphone.

How To Set Up UBA WhatsApp Banking

First things first, You must make sure you have the WhatsApp application Installed on your phone. You must also have an active internet connection. Once both requirements have been met, then we can begin.
