Wema Bank, Nigeria’s foremost innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, said it was not in distress and its depositors were not in panic, following what it called unsubstantiated reports in some sections of the media.

The bank said rather than bow to pressure from some peddlers of distasteful news, it has been receiving praises and commendation from customers and shareholders nationwide following its unprecedented 2023 financial performance as captured in the bank’s Q3 2023 Financial Results.

 

According to the Q3 results referenced, Wema Bank’s Profit Before Tax [PBT] skyrocketed by a whopping 130% in 2023, with a recorded N21.76billion [Q3] against the previous year’s N9.46billion. This upsurge extended to other financial parameters—one of them being Gross Earnings as the bank achieved a 61% increase in Gross Earnings, going from Q3’s N93.86billion to ₦150.90billion in Q3 2023.
