To celebrate its 81st anniversary, alongside the ninth anniversary of its digital platform, ALAT, Wema Bank has unveiled a series of customer-focused initiatives, including reward programmes and targeted support schemes.

The bank said the anniversary, marked on May 2, 2026, is being held under the theme, “Your Future of Possibilities, Powered by Wema Bank,” with a focus on deepening customer engagement.

Activities include incentives for ALAT users and other customers through the launch of the fifth season of its “5 for 5” reward campaign.

In line with the theme, Wema Bank also announced plans to introduce a customer success initiative targeted at different segments, including small businesses, students, working professionals and creatives.

The programme is expected to provide tailored support, insights and access to opportunities aimed at helping customers achieve their financial and personal goals.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Moruf Oseni, said the approach reflects the bank’s focus on adapting to changes in the financial services sector, particularly the increasing role of digital banking.

He noted that the bank would continue to expand its digital offerings while strengthening support systems for customers navigating evolving economic and technological conditions.

To thrive, one must be prepared to adapt where needed and ready to leverage the possibilities ahead; and this is what we want to help our customers achieve. With millions of individuals and businesses in our care, we have a deep sense of responsibility towards helping them make meaningful progress and our 81st anniversary presents the perfect opportunity for us to deepen our efforts towards fulfilling that responsibility.
