List of UBA Sort Codes (2026)
“UBA code” can mean several different numbers. This list sorts them out, so you can pick the right one for the field in front of you.
Bank identifiers and related codes, side by side.
| Code | What it is | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| 033 | UBA bank code | Choosing UBA on payment systems |
| 9 digits starting 033 | UBA branch sort code | Forms that ask for a branch |
| 10 digits | UBA account number | Identifying your account |
| UNAFNGLA | UBA SWIFT/BIC code | International payments |
| *919# | UBA USSD code | Opening the UBA phone menu. Not a bank code |
If a form lets you choose UBA by name, do that instead of typing a number. If it only has a code box, use the code the platform shows.
Quick checks before you use a code
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Is it a bank code or a branch code? | Some forms want 033. Others want the 9-digit branch code |
| Does the account name appear? | It proves the details match |
| Did it come from a message? | Do not trust codes sent to you unprompted |
| Is the payment large? | Send a small test first |
The 4 numbers people confuse
◆ The bank code identifies UBA.
