Months after commencing operations, Nigeria’s newest non-interest bank, Summit Bank Ltd, has reiterated that it is properly positioned to deliver unrivalled ethical and inclusive financial services to customers across the board.

While clearing the air about its existence, operations and direction during a press conference at its Headquarters in Abuja, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Dr Sirajo Salisu, emphasised that the bank is not only up and running, but is properly positioned to contribute its quota to banking advancement in the country.

Salisu emphasised that Summit Bank is a purpose-built non-interest financial institution designed to make ethical, transparent banking accessible to individuals, groups, entrepreneurs, SMEs and larger organisations, with a vision to be the leading ethical bank in the country and supporting the bank’s stakeholders for common growth and prosperity.

“We are live, well-regulated, fully operational and ready to serve Nigerians with clarity, integrity and purpose,” he added. In clarifying ongoing media speculation, the Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer of the bank, Dr Mukhtar Adam, stated that the bank’s leadership comprises seasoned executives from Nigeria’s top banks and digital innovators.

“While some of our directors have built accomplished careers at frontline financial institutions such as Zenith Bank, Summit Bank is an independent financial entity governed by a professional board and fully compliant with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) regulations,” he said.
