    • Oluwaseun O. ★★★★★ They lend money to workers and even private business owners. They come through for you when you need money but payback na die. They literally draw your blood with every payment. Also, they make sure they collect like 80% of their interest for the money you borrowed in the first few months after borrowing, when they know it may be difficult for you to pay back. When you try to pay back maybe 6months in, you realise you have paid most of the interest and they still ask you to pay a ridiculous sum as balance (because that is the principal. Smh. Legal scam)...only go to them if you desperately need money. Not a good deal.
    • Seyi M. ★★★★ A scam of an institution. Despite the fact that they get their marketing strategy correct, the company is not going in the right direction. Their agents can also be very divisive. Branches are strategically located but would not advise anyone to patronize. Not the best place for personal loans.

    • Oluwaseun O. ★★★★ It's one of the old banks and even though they have modernised greatly (even with the type of staff they hire)...a lot still needs to be done. I once went to their branch at Eric Moore & their security door was not working. Instead of making provisions for us to enter through another means, they asked us to go to another branch. It was so annoying. Also, they aren't sme friendly. They say sme's should come and take loan but when you get there, they say you are not eligible. So there is that. Otherwise, they are a pretty decent bank.
    • Abel C. ★★★★★ This is Union Bank sports ground along Bode Thomas Street. It is called The Stables. They have different sport facilities inside. Both indoors and outdoor sport facilities. They also have standard swimming 🏊‍♂️ pools where people normally go for a price though.

    • Evita ★★★★ Worse bank i ever did business with. Rude and condescending staff who lie through thier teeth to me on information concerning my money. I left and found peace. Headquarters and CBN will do well to scrutinize the activities of this branch.
    • Isaac O. ★★★★★ The banking hall is one of the biggest I've seen for medium branches. Their staff would take forever to attend to you. There's usually a queue. Worse still, I keep wondering why their ATMs are not 24/7. The premises housing the ATM gallery at night under lock and key for some reasons I don't know. 🅿️ Parking space is almost not unavailable. Just 2 slots in front of the bank. The rest are roadside and you'd have to pay for parking. There's no ♿wheelchair-accessible entrance by the way.
