One of the leading Nigerian banks, Wema, has won the ‘Most Innovative Digital Bank Award’ in Nigeria at the 2021 Digital Banker Africa Awards.

The Award is organised by Digital Banker Africa to recognise and celebrate organisations from across Africa that have stood out from amongst their peers with outstanding innovation, infrastructure and development using smart technological approach to support their business and customers.

Digital banker Africa is one of the continent’s leading media platforms providing news, business intelligence and research partnership with institutions in Africa’s financial service sector.

This latest award adds to the scrolls of accolades the bank has so far earned within the year.

Last month, the institution’s digital bank franchise, ALAT by Wema, was awarded the ‘Most Outstanding Digital Bank Brand of the Year Award’ at the 2021 Brandcom Awards, which honours brands, agencies, and notable individuals in the brands and marketing communications industry who have distinguished themselves with tangible and laudable impact.

“We are grateful for this honour recognising our relentless effort in becoming Nigeria’s leading innovative digital bank. We dedicate this to all our customers who trust us and have continuously made us and our game-changing digital bank, ALAT, their first choice,” Adebise had stated.

The award further recognises Wema Bank’s consistent innovativeness in delivering value to its stakeholders, enabling its customers to bank with ease and live their desired lifestyles.

The Bank’s passion to solidify its position as a leader in the digital banking space has seen it build a robust portfolio of digital solutions tailored to meet a diverse pool of customers and tailor-made to suit the dynamic lifestyles of students, budding entrepreneurs and young professionals. The Bank was the first to pioneer card control, a solution that allows customers secure their payment cards by locking and unlocking their cards directly from their mobile phones, also offering USSD Banking through its *945# platform.
