TAJBank Celebrates 5 Years Of Prosperous Ethical Banking, Rewards Loyal Employees
- Appreciates customers’ loyalty
The Board and management of Nigeria’s leading non-interest bank, TAJBank Limited have celebrated the bank’s 5th anniversary of promoting ethical banking with appreciation to their growing customer base for the remarkable achievements recorded so far.
Importantly, the Bank appreciated the customers and noted that their robust patronage and confidence in the quality of its products and services have largely been responsible for the fastest-growing pace of the non-interest lender.
Addressing journalists at the 5th Anniversary event held in Abuja on Monday, TAJBank’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Hamid Joda, reaffirmed the commitment of the board and management to providing enhanced technology-driven products and services at all times, adding that these improvements aim to add value to the businesses and lives of the bank’s customers in the years ahead.
Joda described the customers as valued partners whose interests shall consistently be promoted in line with the non-interest lender’s corporate slogan that its only interest is in the customers.
He assured that the management would continue to invest in critical assets, including financial technology (fintech), to enhance service delivery to the customers and strongly position them at the leading edge of market competition in their business sectors.
On future plans for their customers, Joda said; “Well, the customers should be looking at ease of doing business which is our cardinal objective and principle in TAJBank. When we came into the market, our disruptive strategy was IT because the industry has changed fundamentally and we made significant investments in financial technology to ease operations for customers and that is what we will continue to do in the years ahead.
“Our customers should expect that TAJBank will continue to be ahead in delivering efficient services to them in the years ahead”.
The Bank’s Co-Founder and Executive Director, Mr Sherif Idi, who addressed issues around their human capital development strategy, said the board and management consider the employees as the biggest asset and the heartbeat of the bank, who should be continuously invested in to achieve the vision of transforming TAJBank into one of the 20 largest banks in the country within the next few years.
According to him; “We shall continue to invest in human capital development and we will do our best to ensure that they have the best training they can get in the non-interest banking space. We are doing that because we aspire to be among the first top 20 banks by the year 2029 and you know that when you have that type of aspiration, you have to hugely invest first, in human resources; and secondly, in technology.”
On his part, one of the Bank’s Directors, Alhaji Tata S. Umar, said the remarkable achievements of TAJBank over the past five years can be attributed to the quality of its board and management, as well as to strong corporate governance and effective strategies, adding that these factors have enabled the bank to navigate the challenges posed by both the micro and macroeconomic environment in the country.
“As you are aware, today marks the 5th year of our existence. It has not been easy starting from a small project room to a big bank with branches now all over the country. I think the board has done well and the executive management has done very well also and that is why TAJBank today is Nigeria’s leading non-interest bank, Umar said
Amid excitement among the staff, the Management appreciated their contributions to the bank’s growth with the presentation of Long Service Awards to several employees and gifts to other non-staff members who praised the management for the kind gesture as well as recognition of employees’ hard work, and corporate governance etiquette.
