He noted that “following our transformation into a holding company, this will allow shareholders and customers to maintain continued exposure to the Bank’s existing lines of business and gain exposure to new permissible business lines that would enhance shareholder value.

“As we chart a new future for our organization, the expanded company structure will give us the renewed ambition to confront new challenges and solve more problems. The Alternative Bank will impact lives through ethical wealth generation while leveraging partnerships and digital platforms to tend to the needs of our retail, commercial, corporate, and institutional customer.”

Also, managing director/CEO, Abubakar Suleiman added that “we commenced the final stages of restructuring our businesses to becoming a financial holding company, our existing corporate arrangement could no longer contain our ambitions. This important work is projected to be completed by the end of 2023 and will unleash a whole new operating energy.”

Suleiman stated that “the true measure of our commitment to transforming from a midsize bank to a leading impact-focused specialized financial institution can be best measured by our progress in the HEART sectors. We have moved from scribblings on used papers to what has been rightly described as the most compelling vision by any bank in Africa in the last decade.

“We are now truly the bank with a heart, with our exposure to these sectors approaching our 20 per cent mark, our pedigree in the industry now acknowledged and our impact in the lives of people impossible to ignore.”
