First Bank of Nigeria has promised to continue to provide world class services and expertise to support its customers.
The bank also pledged to keep meeting the financing and banking needs of its customers just as it expressed joy being appointed the sole foreign exchange dealer to licenced Bureau de Change (BDC) operators in the country by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
In a statement issued by First Bank, its Chief Financial Officer, Mr Patrick Iyamabo, further vowed that the bank would continue to maintain its position as the safest and most respected banking franchise in the country.
“We would continue to leverage our unique ability to grow and capitalize the institution – a testament to our solid track record.
“Our highest priority remains meeting the financing and banking needs of our customers, by providing world class services, knowledge and expertise to support them, even in very difficult times,” Mr Iyamabo said.
First Bank had consistently sold dollars to over 500 BDCs as directed by the CBN to improve dollar liquidity and strengthen the Naira in line with the new flexible foreign exchange policy.
The bank believes that the CBN’s pronouncement is a testament to its strong financial base.
