Access Pensions is a subsidiary of Access Corporation and the merger positions the company as the fourth largest pensions fund manager in Nigeria. It is capitalised with double the regulatory requirement of funds in excess of N10 billion, with its assets under management (AUM) at over N900 billion and over 1 million Retirement Savings Accounts (RSAs).

Speaking at the unveiling of Access Pensions in its proposed head office in Abuja, the group chief executive of Access Corporation, Dr Herbert Wigwe, noted that, this merger is in line with its corporate strategy to provide an all-inclusive financial system to cater to its vast customer base.

Wigwe, who was represented by the chief brand and communications officer, Access Corporation, Mr. Ameachi Okobi said: “Pension systems do provide an income in the event of retirement, old age, or disability but they also serve a far greater purpose for our customers and communities. Apart from promoting long-term savings for sustainable investment and being a retirement savings account for our over 60 million customers, it also stabilises and grows economies.

“In line with our vision of creating a globally connected community and ecosystem inspired by Africa for the world, we want to start building first from Nigeria and then beyond. That is why we will work closely with our regulators to build this industry for a sustainable future for our community. Let’s shape the future we desire together.”

“We believe this reflects the next frontier of growth for the pension industry with strong potential at driving financial inclusion. We believe that the pensions industry has the potential to reach up to 30 million new Micro-pensions customers in Nigeria over the next five years.”

He added that Access pensions mission is ‘to provide every generation with the knowledge, advice and tools to create their future.’ The Brand persona is one of bravery, of trusted experts, insightful and supportive and its ambition: is a world where everyone is inspired and empowered to shape the future.
