ProvidusUnity Bank has recently undertaken a significant initiative to enhance its engagement with customers across Northern Nigeria. The bank hosted a series of forums in key locations, including Kano, Sokoto, and Abuja, which brought together over 1,000 customers and prospective customers. These events form part of the bank's nationwide stakeholder outreach program, implemented following its successful merger and integration.
The primary objective of these forums is to foster stronger relationships with customers, gain a deeper understanding of their evolving financial needs, and gather feedback to improve service delivery. During the engagements, participants interacted with the bank's representatives across various business segments, including credit, customer experience, digital banking, payments, trade services, and export financing.
The forums provided a platform for customers to explore opportunities to leverage the bank's solutions to enhance their businesses and operational efficiency. This initiative comes on the heels of the bank's merger and integration, which aimed to create a stronger institution with enhanced capabilities, broader reach, and greater capacity to support individuals, businesses, and critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.
According to Walter Akpani, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ProvidusUnity Bank, the customer engagements underscore the bank's commitment to building strong customer relationships as a foundation for meaningful growth and long-term success. He emphasized that the merger has created a stronger institution with greater capacity to support customers' ambitions.
Akpani further highlighted the bank's vision to be a trusted partner in the success of its customers, providing access to finance, digital banking solutions, trade support, payments, and advisory services. The bank aims to help businesses grow, create opportunities for individuals, and contribute to Nigeria's economic development.
The customer forums have provided valuable insights into customers' priorities and needs, enabling the bank to identify new ways to support their growth. By engaging directly with customers, the bank can ensure that its decisions continue to be shaped by their voices, ultimately enhancing its service delivery and support for the Nigerian economy.
