    • Onuka K. ★★★★★ Strategically located along Ohafia-Arochukwu road adjacent Presbyterian cathedral church and opposite Kuuk filling station. Mini branch. Security conscious to a reasonable extent. Has a functional customer service unit. Accepts cash deposits and withdrawal, check lodgement and clearance, and opening of new accounts. Wheelchair ♿ accessible. ATM Service available but overcrowded during festive periods like Christmas and new year. Needs to work on developing the capacity to handle surging customers especially during festive periods.
