Nigeria’s digital banking landscape is set for a significant boost as Unity Bank Plc launches a new and improved version of its mobile banking platform, Unifi. The upgrade, dubbed Unifi 2.3, aims to deliver enhanced functionality, security, and convenience for retail customers across the country.
The bank highlighted that the latest version of Unifi includes fortified security protocols, expanded quick-action functionalities, upgraded bill payment options, and a refined Nigeria Quick Response (QR) feature for faster, safer transactions. This reflects Unity Bank’s ongoing investment in digital and security infrastructure to protect customer data and enable seamless, real-time financial transactions.
Brandspur Banking News Desk reports that Unity Bank’s Divisional Head, Retail, SME, Digital Banking & Fintech Partnerships, Adenike Abimbola, emphasised that the enhancements were informed by customer feedback and market trends. “Digital banking has become an essential part of everyday life. With Unifi 2.3, we are directly responding to customers’ expectations for speed, reliability, and ease of use, while reinforcing safety across transactions,” she said.
Abimbola added that the upgrade represents a critical step in Unity Bank’s broader digital transformation agenda. The bank remains committed to continuous innovation across its digital platforms, ensuring financial inclusion and seamless engagement for customers.
The upgraded app is designed to simplify key banking activities, including account management, payments, transfers, and QR-enabled services, making it particularly appealing to digitally savvy and retail-focused customers. By improving speed, usability, and security, Unifi 2.3 positions Unity Bank to better serve Nigeria’s growing base of mobile-first banking clients.
Originally introduced as part of the bank’s strategy to expand its retail reach, Unifi has evolved into a central pillar of Unity Bank’s retail banking model, driving customer acquisition and engagement while supporting the bank’s digital-first approach to service delivery.
Unity Bank’s latest move underscores the increasing role of mobile banking in Nigeria’s financial ecosystem, where convenience, accessibility, and data security are becoming top priorities for consumers.
