Tolu Alero Ladipo Champions Financial Inclusion Through Strategic Campaigns

As the Group Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications, Ladipo has been instrumental in advancing financial inclusion across the African continent.

One notable initiative under her leadership is the launch of the *919# Advance Top-Up feature. This service allows UBA customers to borrow airtime or data directly from their mobile devices without the need for internet connectivity, addressing the needs of customers who may find themselves without airtime or data in critical moments. Ladipo highlighted the customer-centric approach behind this feature, stating, “Our users asked for a way to stay connected when they have no airtime, and as always, we have come up with a quick solution, right there on their phones, instantly, with no fuss, and no need for internet connectivity.” UBA Group

Beyond technological innovations, Ladipo has spearheaded community outreach programs aimed at educating and empowering individuals about financial literacy. These programs have been pivotal in demystifying banking processes and encouraging the adoption of banking services among populations that were previously unbanked.

Her efforts have not gone unnoticed. Ladipo’s dedication to financial inclusion and her impactful campaigns have been recognized in various publications, underscoring her role in driving UBA’s global appeal and reinforcing the bank’s status as a leader in the financial sector. The Benchmark
