The leading pan-African banking group, Ecobank, is
delighted to announce that it has won the Award for Innovation in Financial
Services at the 2020 edition of the prestigious African Banker magazine Awards.
The Awards, which reward banking excellence in Africa, were announced at a
virtual ceremony held on 26th August.
The
African Banker's judging process sought to recognise the African banks that
have demonstrated original and practical uses of technology to provide customer
convenience, improved and more affordable services and greater access to the
financial services sector in Africa.
Ade
Ayeyemi, Group Chief Executive Officer said: "Winning the Award for
Innovation in Financial Services from the African Banker magazine is such an
honour. It provides public recognition of our pioneering role in harnessing
technology to complement our pan-African presence and partnerships, to deliver
accessible, convenient, affordable and innovative banking products which are
making a difference to millions of lives and businesses across sub-Saharan
Africa. Five years ago, we commenced a digital transformation journey to
transform our banking products and services. This award attests to the
success of that journey and we are delighted that our significant investment in
technology is yielding the desired results."
"Our
one bank model, powered by our robust pan-African banking digital platform
provides diverse products and services to governments and corporate clients
using our digital platforms including Ecobank Omni Plus amongst others, Ecobank
Omni Lite for our SMEs and commercial bank clients as well as our Ecobank
Mobile App and Ecobank Online for our consumer clients. These are in
addition to the highly effective cash management, transaction banking solutions
and our cross-border Rapidtransfer remittance solution - a few of the
headline-grabbing innovations that we have delivered to meet and exceed the
evolving needs and expectations of our customers. I applaud all my Ecobank
colleagues for their continued commitment and dedication to serving our
customers especially during these challenging COVID-19 times."
