Alternative Bank Hosts Special Iftar, Promotes Inclusion, Ethical Banking

In a show of commitment to community engagement and ethical banking, the Alternative Bank, Nigeria’s leading non-interest financial institution, recently hosted special Iftar events across four major cities of Abuja, Ibadan, Kano, and Lagos.

The gatherings brought together esteemed customers, partners, dignitaries, and business leaders to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan.

The Iftar events were part of the bank’s annual Ramadan programme, centered on inclusion, unity, and social impact. Beyond fostering a sense of community, the events allowed the bank to strengthen its relationships with stakeholders, reinforce customer loyalty, and explore new partnership opportunities, all while embracing the spirit of charity and reflection that defines Ramadan.

Speaking at the Lagos event, The Alternative Bank’s Managing Director, Mr. Hassan Yusuf, expressed gratitude to the bank’s partners and customers for their trust and support.

He emphasised the power of collaboration and social impact, stating that “We thrive when we collaborate, when we lift one another, and when we recognize that our greatest wealth lies not just in material success, but in the relationships we build and the impact we create.”

Adding to the evening’s significance, President of the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT), Alhaji Ayodeji AbdulWahid AbdulRauf, commended The Alternative Bank for its commitment to innovative and impactful financial solutions.

He highlighted the importance of collaboration between financial institutions and faith-based organisations in driving sustainable community development.

A key highlight of the event was a thought-provoking Ramadan lecture delivered by NASFAT’s Chief Missioner, Imam Abdul-Azeez Moruf Onike. He urged guests to embrace the values of tolerance, humility, and charity qualities exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His message resonated with attendees, reinforcing a collective sense of responsibility and compassion.

In her closing remarks, the Executive Director of The Alternative Bank (South), Mrs. Korede Demola-Adeniyi, expressed deep appreciation to the guests for their participation. She reaffirmed the bank’s dedication to providing faith-based, customer-centric financial services that extend beyond business.
