Troubleshooting Login Problems

Can’t access your UBA account? Here are solutions to common issues:

Internet Banking or App Not Working

Symptoms: Website won’t load, app crashes, “service unavailable” error

  • Use USSD: Dial *919# – works when internet banking doesn’t
  • Check UBA social media: @aboraboraBanking on Twitter for updates
  • Peak hours: Month-end and salary days have heavy traffic – try early morning
  • Clear browser cache: Old data can cause loading issues

OTP Not Received

Error: Verification code never arrives

  • Wait 2-3 minutes: OTPs can be delayed during peak hours
  • Check network signal: Weak signal delays SMS delivery
  • Correct number? OTP goes to registered phone only
  • Changed number? Visit a UBA branch to update your phone number
  • Request new OTP: Click resend after waiting 60 seconds

“Invalid Credentials” Error

Error: “Invalid username or password”

  • Caps lock: Passwords are case-sensitive
  • User ID: Use your User ID, not account number
  • Reset password: Click “Forgot Password” on the login page
  • Locked out? After multiple wrong attempts, call customer service

Symptoms: App crashes, won’t open, or freezes

  • Update app: Download latest version from app store
  • Clear cache: Settings → Apps → UBA → Clear Cache
  • Reinstall: Delete and re-download the app
  • Free up storage: App needs space to function properly
  • Use web instead: ibank.ubagroup.com works on mobile browsers

USSD Transaction Failed

Error: “Transaction could not be completed”

  • Correct PIN: Using wrong PIN will fail the transaction
  • Sufficient balance: Check you have enough funds including charges

Frequently Asked Questions


⚠️ Known Issues with UBA Mobile App

🔴 Constant Crashes: “App crashes every time you use auto-complete when filling in any input” – UX is fundamentally broken. App has been crashing for weeks at a time, requiring uninstall/reinstall cycles.

🔴 Device Deactivation Loop: “Even when you log in, after a few minutes it crashes saying your device has been deactivated, requiring you to log in again repeatedly.”

⚠️ March 2025 Update Issues: After update, app runs at “snail’s pace” – logging in and transactions that normally take seconds now take 5+ minutes.

⚠️ Dashboard Blank: Balance and account number not showing on dashboard – just blank. Multiple accounts only show one account at a time.

⚠️ No Transaction Receipts: “App now rarely sends confirmation of transaction receipts, leading to disputes.”

💡 UBA Workarounds

  • Use *919# USSD code as more reliable alternative
  • Disable keyboard auto-complete to prevent crashes
  • Take screenshots of all transactions immediately
  • Contact: +234-700-225-5822 for issues

Why is my UBA internet banking not working?

Why am I not receiving OTP from UBA?

OTPs can be delayed during peak hours or due to network issues. Wait 2-3 minutes before requesting a new one. Ensure your phone has good signal and your registered number is correct. If problems persist, contact customer service.

Can I use UBA USSD without internet?

Yes! UBA’s *919# USSD code works without internet. It uses your phone’s GSM network, so you only need phone signal, not data. This makes it reliable when internet banking is unavailable.
