The foremost financial institution, Stanbic IBTC Bank
formally opened its pioneer digital branch located strategically in the
Maryland Mall along Ikorodu Road in Lagos, with Chairman, Zinox Group, Dr. Leo-Stan
Ekeh applauding the bank for the remarkable feat, reports ITRealms.
The digital branch, ITRealms gathered, would offer from Wednesday, December 13, 2016 to customers a wide range of technologically-driven and seamless self-service
channels including instant deposits, personal teller machine, airtime top-ups, interactive
access to the bank’s suite of products and services and an integrated app
through which customers can access the Group’s various solutions such as
Personal Banking, Pension Fund and Asset Management, among others.
Ekeh
who was the Special Guest of Honour, disclosed that the launch of the
digital branch was timely and in line with the rapidly evolving revolution in
the digital space.
In his opinion, Stanbic IBTC Bank
has with this singular achievement effectively positioned itself as a bank of
choice for the current generation of digitally-minded and tech-savvy youths,
many of whom are constantly in search of more innovative ways to carry out
their daily activities.
“I must commend the Management of
Stanbic IBTC Bank for this revolutionary feat. In the 21st century,
money shouts but wealth whispers. This is a century of constant innovation and
with the launch of this digital branch, you have taken a huge step towards
meeting the yearnings and aspirations of the current generation of technologically-minded
customers.
“Many years ago, I had sought to
obtain a license from the Central Bank of Nigeria for card-less or virtual
banking but this was not granted as the concept sounded strange at the time.
Today, we are witnessing a banking revolution as you do not need to have a
debit card with you to make withdrawals here or a teller attending to you
before you can make a cash deposit,” he stated.
Also speaking at the event, Chief
Executive Officer, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Yinka Sanni disclosed that the launch of
the digital branch was in line with the need to stay one step ahead of the game
by leveraging on the power of sophisticated technology to bring convenient
banking to customers.
According to him, Stanbic IBTC
has consistently maintained its focus as first rate provider of seamless and
convenient personal and business banking solutions which enables its customers
move forward.
The event, which featured a tour
of the various digital self-service outlets in the branch, also witnessed detailed
demonstrations which gave attendees a first-hand glimpse of the workings of the
various terminals and channels.
