Global Finance’s Private Bank Awards acknowledge institutions that demonstrate exceptional dedication to meeting the unique requirements of affluent clients. FirstBank’s Private Banking business underwent a significant overhaul in January 2023 following an outstanding performance in 2022. This strategic revamp aimed to strengthen its position and uphold its reputation as Nigeria’s leading Private Bank. The bank offers a range of distinctive products covering investment advisory, wealth management, asset management, and lifestyle solutions, ensuring it remains at the forefront of the industry.
The Bank has remained consistent in reinventing itself, enabling success through the years of its existence for the last 130 years, responding to the changes in the private wealth space and the opportunities presented by certain factors like borderless technology, renewed interest in mineral wealth, migration opportunities, concerns for wealth preservation amongst many others.
Receiving the awards, Idowu Thompson, the Group Executive, Private Banking and Wealth Management FirstBank, stated, ‘We are greatly privileged to be recipients of the prestigious awards, Best Private Bank in Nigeria, and Best Private Bank for Sustainable Investment in Africa. These accolades testify to our unwavering commitment to creating value, strengthening financial awareness, and driving inclusiveness in our customers’ journeys from wealth creation, growth, preservation, and its orderly transfer.’
