THE
founder and chairman of the Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh as described as
remarkable the opening of a digital branch of Stanbic IBTC Bank located
strategically in the Maryland Mall along Ikorodu Road, Lagos.
The
digital branch will offer customers a wide range of technologically-driven and
seamless self-service channels including instant deposits, personal teller
machine, airtime top-ups, interactive access to the bank’s suite of products
and services and an integrated app through which customers can access the
Group’s various solutions such as Personal Banking, Pension Fund and Asset
Management, among others.
Ekeh who featured as the Special Guest of
Honour, disclosed that the launch of the digital branch was timely and in line
with the rapidly evolving revolution in the digital space.
He said that Stanbic IBTC Bank has with
this singular achievement effectively positioned itself as a bank of choice for
the current generation of digitally-minded and tech-savvy youths, many of whom
are constantly in search of more innovative ways to carry out their daily
activities.
“I must commend the Management of Stanbic
IBTC Bank for this revolutionary feat. In the 21st century, money
shouts but wealth whispers. This is a century of constant innovation and with
the launch of this digital branch, you have taken a huge step towards meeting
the yearnings and aspirations of the current generation of technologically-minded
customers.
“Many years ago, I had sought to obtain a
license from the Central Bank of Nigeria for card-less or virtual banking but
this was not granted as the concept sounded strange at the time. Today, we are
witnessing a banking revolution as you do not need to have a debit card with
you to make withdrawals here or a teller attending to you before you can make a
cash deposit,” he stated.
Chief Executive Officer, Stanbic IBTC
Bank, Yinka Sanni disclosed that the launch of the digital branch was in line
with the need to stay one step ahead of the game by leveraging on the power of sophisticated
technology to bring convenient banking to customers.
According to him, Stanbic IBTC has
consistently maintained its focus as first rate provider of seamless and
convenient personal and business banking solutions which enables its customers
move forward.
The event, which featured a tour of the various
digital self-service outlets in the branch, also witnessed detailed
demonstrations which gave attendees a first-hand glimpse of the workings of the
various terminals and channels.
