Sovereign Authority
UBI's sovereign status is grounded in the inherent sovereignty of the Royal House of Kissi — a sovereign African royal family dating to the 1300s whose sovereignty has never been extinguished.
The Kingdom's authority to establish and operate banking institutions flows from its inherent right to create currency, banks, and financial instruments; customary international law; the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP); and Sovereign Decree No. 2026-774 establishing the KKSWF.
UBI operates as a subaccount under the KKSWF. All assets, liabilities, and operations are subject to the oversight of the Sovereign Wealth Fund and the Princess Regent.
