Customers of leading financial
services provider, First City Monument Bank (FCMB), and Nigerians in general,
who reside or run businesses in Mararaba-Karu, a satellite settlement town in
Nasarawa State, neighbouring Abuja environs, including Nyanya, now have an
opportunity to enjoy the excellent services offered by the Bank. This is
because FCMB has opened an ultra-modern and full-service branch strategically
located at Plot 35779, Mararaba Gurku Karu, Nasarawa State in the town.
The new branch was commissioned at
an impressive ceremony on Tuesday, October 23, 2018. This brings to 3 the
number of branches of the Bank in Nasarawa environs and 205 across Nigeria. The development is in line with
FCMB’s strategic expansion approach and commitment towards bringing
banking services directly to the door steps of its existing and potential
customers. The
location of the branch takes into consideration convenience for residents and
businesses in Karu and neighbouring communities in Nasarawa and it is expected
to promote financial inclusion in the country.
Apart from the experienced
financial experts at the branch, it is equipped with unique physical and
technological infrastructures that will ensure convenient transactions and
sundry financial service delivery to customers in a relaxed environment.
In his
speech at the commissioning of the new branch in Karu, the Managing Director of
FCMB, Mr. Adam Nuru said, ‘’this is due to the importance of this area, not
just as a residential hub, but as a major gateway to other strategic places in
Nasarawa state. Though, most of our customers prefer to
carry out transactions from wherever they are, using our alternate channels
such as FCMBMobile, FCMBOnline, USSD code and ATMs spread widely across
Nigeria, some customers still prefer human interaction when banking. This additional
customer touch point will further boost our commitment in providing customers
with simple, helpful and reliable banking services, in a conducive and
convenient environment’’.
Also speaking, the Divisional
Head, Service Management & Technology of FCMB, Mr. Oluwakayode Adigun,
re-iterated the Bank’s commitment to strategically grow its network to meet the
individual and business aspirations of its growing customer base across
segments.
He disclosed that, "the new Karu branch, just like other branches of FCMB across Nigeria, brings with it something special in terms of structure, aesthetics and above all, the excellent customer experience to be provided by our excellent team of professionals. While we strategically pursue our digital agenda as a forward looking financial services operator, we will continue to support the financial inclusion vision of the Central Bank of Nigeria where every customer is adequately served on any channel in which such services are provided to meet their respective lifestyles and needs’’.
In his address at the ceremony, the Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, Hon. Silas Agara, commended FCMB for its commitment to national development through various forms of support to the private and public sectors. The Deputy Governor, who was represented by the Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Ayuba Ayenaje, said, "we are excited that FCMB has expanded its footprint in Nasarawa State and confident that this will go a long way to boost economic activities in our State. We are proud of the various initiatives of the Bank to support the people and government of Nasarawa state. With the opening of a branch in Karu town, the relationship will be taken to greater heights. On our part, we will support the Bank as much as we can".
