The various creative policies put in place by the management of Abbey Mortgage Bank aimed to reposition the company and make it a leading player in the sector are already yielding positive results.
At the recent African Housing Awards, the financial institution established to provide support to stakeholders in the real estate business was announced as the winner of the Innovative Mortgage Bank Awards 2021
The Executive Director in charge of Treasury, Operations and Construction Finance, Mr Oladipupo Adeoye, who received the award on behalf of the company, dedicated it to the team at Abbey Mortgage Bank.
He attributed the feat to the deliberate efforts of the team to ensure that the firm was re-positioned as the leading mortgage bank out of Africa.
He also expressed gratitude to the board, partners and customers who believed in the Abbey journey, and the value the organisation creates.
“We are honoured to be receiving this award. It is a reflection of the continuous effort of management towards providing creative solutions for our clients,” Mr Adeoye stated.
On her part, the Group Head of Corporate Services at Abbey Mortgage Bank, Ms Bukola Ewedairo, expressed delight over the recognition from African Housing Awards.
