According to the bank, the newly improved PoS, which provides customers efficiency and ease in transacting their businesses, boasts of exciting features designed to boost efficiency, transparency, and trust for merchants, including instant settlement, real-time monitoring, pay-by-link functionality, and a 100% transaction success rate.

With the new service, customers can enjoy flexibility, as the terminals have been equipped to serve businesses of all sizes, providing the speed, reliability and fast-paced services demanded by today’s merchants.

The UBA MONI App which is designed to further strengthen UBA’s agency banking network, the bank said, has also been modified with new features including instant settlement, pay-by-transfer options, secret question security, an enhanced inbox, and a redesigned homepage – offering agents and customers an even more intuitive and secure experience.

“This is in addition to its core features of instant account opening with BVN/NIN, real-time transfers, cash deposits and withdrawals, airtime/data payments with agent discounts, and instant POS deployment remain at the heart of the app,” UBA noted in a statement issued on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
