First Bank of Nigeria Limited says it has won ‘The Best Retail Bank in Nigeria’ for the fifth time.
The lender said it also won ‘The Mobile Payment Product of the Year’ and ‘The Credit Card Product of the Year ” at the 2016 Asian Banker Retail Services West African Awards held in Lagos on Friday.
Organised by Asian Banker magazine, the awards programme is meant to recognise competition and innovation in the global banking sector, according to the bank.
