Some outstanding customers and members of staff of Unity Bank Plc would be rewarded by the company as part of activities lined up for the week-long Customer Service Week.
“We celebrate our frontline teams for strongly and meaningfully reinforcing service excellence and on this score, our bank does not take for granted your choice to bank with us as we understand that choosing us is because of our shared values, commitment to excellence and exceptional service to you at all times.
“As we look to the future, we pledge to remain customer-centric, embracing innovation to serve you better and therefore make your satisfaction our top priority,” the Managing Director of Unity Bank, Mrs Tomi Somefun.
The first week of October is usually celebrated as Customer Service Week, and the lender is offering prizes to its customers and employees in over 200 branches nationwide.
To make the week memorable and exciting, all branches of the Bank will engage in several activities that reflect the importance of teams in delivering outstanding customer service in the Bank, while customers will receive cash rewards by taking part in online and offline special offers.
Also speaking on this year’s celebration, the Chief Customer Service Officer of Unity Bank Plc, Ms Titilayo Abraham, said, “This year’s theme, “Team Service” which incidentally is one of the bank’s core values could not have come at a better time with all the challenges being experienced in the banking sector.
“As a result of this, we plan to have team-focused initiatives to laud and acknowledge the spirit of teamwork across the Bank. The intent is to endear our customers and cultivate a positive work environment among staff where every team’s contribution is not only recognized but deeply valued and applauded.
“In addition to our team-building sessions, we will have the team appreciation Wall of Fame, photo booths and themed backdrop banners at selected branches.”
She added that “a significant highlight of this year’s celebration is the recognition of outstanding teams” because of the bank’s firm belief “that investing in the development of our teams is essential to our collective success.
“The recognition serves as a small token of the bank’s gratitude, designed to acknowledge the invaluable contributions and camaraderie that exists among teams”.
Unity Bank has continued to prioritise the customer over the past few years through its increasing focus on digital strategy.
For instance, over the past three years, it has maintained its commitment to customer service excellence by introducing innovative digital products such as the USSD banking *7799# in local languages, and mobile banking solution, UniFi which have boosted customers’ access to the Bank’s services, while facilitating convenience.
