as the 2018 Bank of the Year in Nigeria and Sierra Leone. These awards serve as
further motivation for us as we continue to go beyond traditional banking
services by creating innovative digital services that are less about us as bank
and more about our customers and how we empower them with everything that they
need to better their lives.”
He further stated that “Our vision has always been to
create an oasis in the financial services industry that leads, not only in
earnings and returns on equity, but also in maintaining world class corporate
governance standards and pushing the bounds in service delivery and customer
experience. These awards reflect our sustained commitment towards this vision,
which we will continue to pursue, driven by our passion for excellence and
guided by our founding values of hard work, discipline and integrity.”

shopping and lifestyle content and the first mobile platform created by a
financial institution in the country that focuses on enabling people’s needs
and lifestyle rather than providing regular banking products.
