ProvidusUnity Bank has ramped up its customer engagement across Northern Nigeria, organizing forums in Kano, Sokoto and Abuja that attracted over 1,000 attendees, both existing and potential clients. These gatherings are part of the bank's nationwide outreach following its merger and integration, designed to deepen customer relationships, learn about their evolving financial requirements and use this insight to enhance service delivery.

In a statement, the bank highlighted that participants discussed various business areas with bank representatives, including credit, customer experience, digital banking, payments, trade services and export financing, while also exploring how the bank's solutions can aid business growth and operational efficiency. This initiative follows the successful merger that formed ProvidusUnity Bank, a strategic move to build a stronger bank with a wider reach and increased capability to support individuals, businesses and critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.

During the forum, ProvidusUnity Bank's Chief Executive Officer Walter Akpani emphasized the bank's belief that lasting growth and success stem from robust customer relationships. He said, "Though the merger has strengthened our capacity, true value is achieved when it translates into superior experiences and solutions that cater to our customers' needs.

That's why we're directly engaging with our customers across Nigeria, listening to their feedback, understanding their priorities, and identifying innovative ways to support their growth. Our mission is to be a trusted partner in our customers' success, whether it's through access to finance, digital banking services, trade support, payments or advisory services.

These engagements are crucial as they ensure our decisions continue to be guided by our customers' voices."
