Imagine sitting in your office, living room, sitting on a bus to a business meeting, or in a lobby waiting to catch a flight, then you realize you need a bank account for a certain urgent transaction or business. Opening an account at a bank will eat into your otherwise tight schedule.
Then you realize there is a way to open a bank account, deposit cash, and start transacting immediately via WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook. First, you think it is crazy. You think there is no such thing as opening a bank account via social media. No. But you try it.
The bank is called UBA Bank Kenya, and their product is UBA Leo, a virtual banking chat feature. You realize that they have three options through which you can open a bank account; WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram.
For WhatsApp, you can either use +254799919000 or go directly to the account through https://bit.ly/3ZrQppb. For Instagram, click on https://bit.ly/46qkyYc, and for Facebook, click on https://bit.ly/3t0oTmk.
