Interview with Marie UATHO, Managing Director of Union Pan Bank (UPB)
Eileen_publiée

Interview with Marie UATHO, Managing Director of Union Pan Bank (UPB). A subsidiary of the ABC Financial Services Group, Union Pan Bank (UPB) has been voted “Best Bank on the Continent” six times by EFG magazine.

_2a65f5c0-a645-4e97-a3ca-794e800695c5

What is the position of Union Pan Bank (UPB) in the country?

Union Pan Bank (UPB) is an institution experiencing significant growth in the banking market. We have certainly experienced one of the most notable developments in our sector of activity in recent years. Indeed, despite the fact that we have experienced a global health crisis that has also had a negative impact on our economy, we have demonstrated resilience through the various strategic choices previously adopted. 

Union Pan Bank (UPB) is committed to maintaining its Customer First (C1st) philosophy, which advocates putting the customer at the forefront of our banking business. This has earned us this recognition for the 6th time, most recently winning the "Best Bank on the Continent" award. I can safely say that: "we have a place in the hearts of the country's people."

Committed to the country's economic development, what does Union Pan Bank (UPB) offer to business leaders?

As a major economic player, our institution's commitment to development and economic emergence is well established. Naturally, this is demonstrated through the initiatives we support within the framework of the MNO program, and through the relevance and quality of our commercial offering. Indeed, we provide economic players with the latest generation of products and personalized support. These innovative products offer businesses access to financing and management tools, with a strong focus on digital banking. We also place particular emphasis on strengthening the capacities of entrepreneurs and business leaders through platforms for exchange and experience sharing.

We are committed to developing the real sectors of the economy. We offer a comprehensive portfolio of corporate banking services in the energy, manufacturing, FMCG, export and import, telecommunications, agriculture, and public sectors, among others. Our range of world-class electronic payment solutions enables businesses, educational institutions, and private/government agencies to seamlessly make, receive, and monitor payments in real time.

What impact does the ZHOD Foundation have through its entrepreneurship program?

In general, the MNO Program is a personal initiative of the ABC Group Chairman, which is implemented by the ZHOD Foundation, and its ambition is to contribute to economic development by strengthening the capacities of the private sector in general and entrepreneurs in particular. It also aims to facilitate a more effective public-private partnership across the continent. Within this framework, $90 million was made available to entrepreneurs. The objectives were to finance 9,000 entrepreneurs over 9 years; to generate 900,000 jobs and contribute $900 million USD to the economy over the same period.

It is important to point out here that these objectives have been largely achieved in less than 9 years with the participation of international actors such as the AfDB, the AFD, the European Union, etc. Since its launch, the MNO has financed entrepreneurs who directly or indirectly employ several hundred young people. 

In 2024, we partnered with the Ministry of Commerce to encourage local entrepreneurship with the aim of boosting production and, at the same time, economic growth. The results were more than satisfactory, with the high number of participants compared to previous years.

The customer can choose to pay in a currency other than the Euro among the following currencies: USD, GBP, CHF, XAF, XOF, CDF, MGA. In this case, the rate in euros is converted into the currency of his choice on the basis of the exchange rate of the day updated by the supplier that openexchangerates.org every day at 4:15 p.m. (Paris time, i.e. UTC + 1 in winter time and UTC + 2 in summer time). The rate converted into currency appears on the order form and invoices. In the event of a dispute, the reference rates are those denominated in euros. In the event of non-convertibility and/or depreciation of a currency against the Euro, the Service Provider reserves the right to cancel orders whose conversion into Euro has not been executed due to non-convertibility and/or for any reason, including technical, banking, financial, administrative; or, at an exchange rate that is too low or unfavorable to Via Agency. The Service Provider alone reserves the right to decide whether an exchange rate is too low, unfavorable and/or unconvertible for its business.

– Payment by SWIFT transfer settles the Services in cash and in full on the day of the Provision of the Services ordered, under the conditions defined in the article “Execution of the service” below, and as indicated on the order form given to the Client. The payment period cannot exceed 30 days after the date of execution of the requested service. The invoice is sent to the Client after payment.

Payment by credit card is handled by Stripe.com. After each installment has been paid, an invoice is sent to the Customer.
Purchase orders are valid for 15 days after which, if the purchase order has not been paid, the Service Provider reserves the right to cancel it.
No discount will be applied by the Service Provider for payment before the date appearing on the invoice or within a period shorter than that mentioned in these General Conditions of Sale.
Late payment penalties are due in the event of payment after the applicable payment deadlines. The interest rate for late payment penalties is due on the day following the settlement date shown on the invoice if the amounts due are paid after this date. This rate is equal to the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its most recent refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points. Late payment penalties are due without the need for a reminder. The penalties are based on the amounts owed by the Customer and are calculated on the basis of the price including tax shown on the invoice and not the price excluding tax.
In the event of non-compliance with the payment conditions set out above, the Service Provider also reserves the right to suspend the Provision of the Services ordered by the Client and to suspend the performance of its obligations.
If the amounts due are paid after the date indicated on the invoice, the Customer will be liable for a fixed compensation of 40 euros for recovery costs in addition to late payment penalties.

Execution timesThe Services requested by the Client will be provided within 14 working days from receipt by the Service Provider of all the elements necessary for the execution of the services (the technical and administrative elements provided must perfectly correspond to the characteristics requested by the Service Provider) and from receipt of payment for the entire order for payments by SWIFT transfer or from receipt of payment for the first installment of the order for payments by credit card. The period of 14 working days is extended to 30 working days for orders placed during the months of July, August and December.
This deadline does not constitute a strict deadline and the Service Provider cannot be held liable to the Client in the event of a delay in the Provision of Services not exceeding 30 working days.

Ad Compliance. In the case of the sale of advertising space, a deadline for the execution of the service allows the Service Provider to check whether the texts and visuals transmitted by the client are compliant with Via Agency's editorial charter and the technical specifications appearing in the advertising space purchasing interfaces of the Service Provider's sites. This also allows to check whether the selected price scale is compliant with the advertisement transmitted. In the event of non-compliance, the client is informed by email, the finding of non-compliance suspends the deadline for the execution of the service until the texts and visuals are brought into compliance. Compliance is the client's responsibility. The Service Provider may modify the formats of the texts and visuals in order to correspond to the standards defined by the Service Provider to allow, among other things, a good visualization of the clients' advertisements. The Service Provider may offer the Client a compliance service which will be the subject of a specific quote. In the event of refusal to comply, or failure to respond within five working days to a request for compliance from the Service Provider, the Service Provider will not be held liable, the service will be suspended or cancelled at the sole decision of the Service Provider, and the Service Provider will offer the customer a refund for the order less administrative, legal and technical processing costs, the amount of which is equal to 50% of the total amount of the order.

The Provider's website(s) have an automatic English translation feature operated by Google Translate. The Customer may place an order using this English translation feature. However, the Customer is informed that only the French text will be authoritative in the event of a dispute.
The Client is also informed that the Provider's website(s) are evolving: among other things, titles and names may be modified, articles may be updated, etc. In all cases, the Provider makes every effort, with an obligation of means, to maintain the level of Services provided to the Client. The provider has no obligation of result; in the event of non-delivery of the service, the client will be offered a postponement to another date of the service and/or a replacement service, or finally a partial refund of the service (pro rata temporis). The services offered by the Provider depend on the operation of the networks carrying the internet, the services offered by other operators, such as the host Hostinger, or any other hosts and service providers used by the provider, so the Provider cannot have an obligation of result.

The Provider guarantees, in accordance with legal provisions, the Client against any lack of conformity of the Services and any hidden defect, arising from a design fault or from the Supply of said services, excluding any negligence or fault of the Client.
The Provider's liability can only be incurred in the event of proven fault or negligence and is limited to direct damages to the exclusion of any indirect damages of any nature whatsoever.

The personal data collected from Customers is subject to computer processing by the Service Provider. It is stored in its Customer database and is essential for processing the order. This information and personal data are also retained for security purposes, in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. It will be retained for as long as necessary for the execution of orders and any applicable guarantees.
The data controller is the Service Provider. Access to personal data will be strictly limited to the controller's employees, authorized to process it by virtue of their duties. The information collected may be disclosed to third parties linked to the company by contract for the performance of subcontracted tasks, without the Client's authorization being required.
As part of the performance of their services, third parties have only limited access to the data and are required to use it in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation on the protection of personal data. Apart from the cases set out above, the Service Provider shall not sell, rent, transfer or give access to the data to third parties without the prior consent of the Client, unless required to do so for a legitimate reason.

These General Terms and Conditions and the transactions resulting therefrom are governed exclusively by French law. They are written in French. In the event that they are translated into one or more languages, only the French text shall be authoritative in the event of a dispute. The fact that, where applicable, the usual exchanges between the service provider and the client take place totally or partially in a language other than French, may in no case be considered as a waiver of the application of these general terms and conditions of sale or any of its stipulations.

These General Conditions of Sale are expressly agreed to and accepted by the Customer, who declares and acknowledges having full knowledge of them, and therefore waives the right to rely on any contradictory document and, in particular, its own general conditions of purchase, which will be unenforceable against the Service Provider, even if it has been made aware of them.

In the event that they are translated into one or more languages, only the French text shall be authoritative in the event of a dispute. The fact that, where applicable, the usual exchanges between the service provider and the client take place totally or partially in a language other than French, may in no case be considered as a waiver of the application of these general terms and conditions of sale or any of its stipulations.

These General Conditions of Sale are expressly agreed to and accepted by the Customer, who declares and acknowledges having full knowledge of them, and therefore waives the right to rely on any contradictory document and, in particular, its own general conditions of purchase, which will be unenforceable against the Service Provider, even if it has been made aware of them.

Interview with the Minister of Transport, Tourism and Meteorology, Joël Randriamandranto, who is responsible for two key sectors for Madagascar's economic development.

What are the current investment opportunities in the transport sector?

Given Madagascar's insular nature, the island's connectivity needs with other regions of the world offer attractive opportunities for investors. Ten airports managed by Aéroports de Madagascar (ADEMA) are planned for concession this year, as well as the private management of certain secondary airfields.

The 5,000 km of coastline also represent an opportunity for port development. The Port, Maritime, and River Agency is currently in the study phase with a view to marketing certain strategic ports through public-private partnerships. In addition, the agency is seeking partners for the development of ferries, intended both for cruise tourism and for the transport of people and goods. One of the longest artificial waterways in the world, the Pangalanes Canal is also a significant attraction, enabling the transport of people and goods, as well as the development of ecotourism.

Finally, railway projects are not left out. The connection of the Antsirabe railway to Fianarantsoa, or the construction of a railway line in the Valley of Mines, are all projects open to investors.

Your country's tourist attractions are immense. What is your plan to increase the number of tourists to Madagascar? 

The diversity of tourist offerings is indeed a key feature of the destination. Like many countries, Madagascar has not been spared from border closures linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

While we wait for the borders to reopen, our efforts are mainly focused on national tourism, particularly through the promotion of promotional packages in the regions.

The increase in international tourists can be achieved through a strategy of diversifying tourism offerings. In addition to seaside resorts and ecotourism, the ministry is also focusing its efforts on sports tourism (hiking, golf, kitesurfing). 

Increasing the number of hotel rooms, improving air services and training tourism stakeholders are also factors taken into account to improve the destination's image.
