Union Bank says it will continue to support the growth of Nigerian businesses through value added plans for its customers.
Emeka Emuwa, chief executive officer (CEO) of the bank, stated this at a customer engagement forum with leading business men and women in Onitsha, Anambra State.
Emuwa explained that the organisation of the forum stemmed from the need to re-introduce customers and stakeholders to the ‘new Union Bank’ which had emerged following a full-scale transformation process initiated in 2015.
“The forum was a platform for interactive discussions with customers and stakeholders in the state and aligns with the bank’s commitment to engage its customers, better understand their unique requirements and continuously work towards meeting their needs”, he said.
According to him, “Following our rigorous transformation programme, we are now better positioned to deliver on our promise to be a trusted financial partner. We remain dedicated to the success of our customers and assure you of our consistent efforts towards the provision of simpler, smarter banking services that help our customers succeed.
These recent initiatives underscore Union Bank’s commitment to its customers across all sectors. With robust banking experience spanning over a century, Union Bank has come to be recognized as a trusted financial partner to generations of Nigerians; supporting the personal and business growth objectives of its customers.”
The CEO was joined at the forum by other executive directors of the bank including Emeka Okonkwo, head, corporate and investment banking; and Adekunle Sonola, head of commercial banking as well as the divisional executive for the region, Rosemary David-Etim.
The bank also recently held an insightful business master class for its commercial customers in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The business master class was a platform to demystify the recent changes to the Nigerian tax regulations and assist the bank’s commercial customers as they navigate the waters of the new tax system.
The seminar featured an expert on the subject matter, Taiwo Oyedele, partner and West Africa Tax Leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), who gave insights into the changes in the Nigerian tax space, implications for stakeholders and how businesses need to adapt to accommodate the changes.
