Emmanuel Akrong, who is the author of Asset Quality Performance of Banks in Ghana, the book that predicted the collapse of at least eight banks, has claimed "Unibank was borrowing to finance its loans" before its takeover by Bank of Ghana.

UniBank was one of nine banks identified after the asset quality review exercise undertaken in 2016, to be significantly undercapitalised with a CAR of 4.75%.[13]

The bank, in a statement released by the Governor of BoG, persistently suffered liquidity shortfalls and consistently breached its cash reserve requirement.[14]

KPMG were announced as administrators of the Bank and were given six months to manage the bank after which it was revert to an unnamed private organization.[15]

In August 2018, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) announced that it was creating the Consolidated Bank Gh. Ltd to take over five struggling banks in the country, including Unibank.[16]
