Zenith Bank Plc has been named the “Best Bank for Digital Solutions in Nigeria” in the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2023, underscoring the bank’s pioneering and outstanding achievements in delivering cutting-edge digital financial solutions.

The award, the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive of the bank Plc, Dr. Ebenezer Onyeagwu, was quoted as saying in a statement “serves as a validation of Zenith Bank’s trailblazing initiatives in integrating advanced technology within Nigeria’s financial services sector.

“Our commitment to expanding the horizons of digital financial services is unwavering, and we will persist in our efforts to innovate and deliver enhanced value to our customers and stakeholders,” he added.

Onyeagwu dedicated the award to the founder and Chairman of Zenith Bank Plc, Jim Ovia, for his visionary approach to integrating technology into banking, establishing an exemplary model for service delivery at a time when the potential of technology in banking was yet to be fully realised.

Technology, he continued, “now stands as the cornerstone of the financial services sector.” He extended heartfelt thanks to the bank’s clientele for their loyal patronage, to the board for their guidance, and to the staff for their unwavering dedication to building a formidable financial institution.”
