You have to use contentVerticalAlignment and contentHorizontalAlignment of the button.

For those who are using Swift 3

button.contentHorizontalAlignment = .left

Above code align text to left border, so you might want little padding.

button.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10, 0, 0)

Setting to button titleLable alignment also works perfectly.

btn.titleLabel.textAlignment=NSTextAlignmentCenter;
