In a renewed drive to empower Nigerians, Stanbic IBTC Bank, a member of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, has launched a nationwide campaign that offers bespoke financial solutions to help individuals and businesses achieve their aspirations.
Tagged ‘Switch’, the campaign, which was officially launched recently, in Lagos, aims at encouraging individuals and businesses to harness vast opportunities embedded in Stanbic IBTC Bank’s bouquet of products such as its salary or business accounts.
Speaking on the launch, Executive Director, Personal and Business Banking, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Mr. Babatunde Macaulay, said the need to enrich the banking experience of Nigerians necessitated the launch. According to him, the financial needs of today’s bank customers are very dynamic and as a result, there is a constant demand for financial solutions that addresses specific needs in real time. The expertise and experience of the Stanbic IBTC Group across the spectrum of financial services ensure that the bank is able to provide solutions that meet and exceed such needs, Macaulay said.
“The Switch campaign is aimed at ensuring that Nigerians enjoy the best financial services experience. At Stanbic IBTC, we fully understand the need by banking customers for quality and timely financial solutions at minimal cost, and we constantly strive to provide innovative banking solutions tailored to those needs,” Macaulay said.
The bank highlighted some of the benefits an individual stands to gain by switching a salary account to Stanbic IBTC Bank to include: access to 55 days interest free credit card, the best in the market now; access to up to 100% of salary advance; best rates on international spend on debit cards; access to personal loans; a dedicated relationship manager that will ensure the customer’s needs are attended to promptly; and access to internet and mobile banking.
Access to a more robust collections/payment system; e-banking solutions, through multiple channels, to ease the burden and risks of transfer of funds; dedicated business relationship manager; working capital optimization; corporate cards to manage the business and access to multiple investment products are some of the benefits of switching a business account, the bank itemised.
