Access Holdings Plc; trading as Access Corporation (\u201cthe Corporation\u201d), has announced its commencement of operations, with initial portfolio companies and its future strategy.<\/p>\n

Herbert Wigwe, the Group CEO of Access Corporation, speaking on its debut said: \u201cMany of you would have heard us talk about Access Corporation earlier this year. This natural evolution of our company will ensure that we continue to use digital tools and our partnership with Fintechs to support our customers\u2019 lifestyles outside of the banking system. We have set our sights on and delivered ambitious plans to transform the African financial services sector over the last 20 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil now, we have concentrated on banking, with the goal of becoming the World\u2019s Most Respected African Bank. Our banking subsidiary is now Nigeria\u2019s largest bank by assets and Africa\u2019s largest in terms of customer base. It is now time for us to take the next transformative step, where we provide our customers with beyond banking services delivering new interconnected financial services across customers\u2019 needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

This online news medium learnt that the Corporation will comprise verticals cutting across banking, payments, consumer lending, insurance brokerage and asset management.<\/p>

Access Bank Group will continue to operate in Nigeria and through its subsidiaries and business offices in Africa, Europe, and Asia.<\/p>\n

These businesses, when combined, will position Access Corporation to provide banking services, including intra-and inter-Africa trade, consumer lending, payments services, and insurance services to our customers, thereby improving wealth diversification and preservation.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead five years, Access Corporation will be a leading financial and ecosystem player, with services spanning B2B and B2C marketplaces, B2B services, health, housing, digital, mobility content, mobility, core banking offerings, and other financial services such as insurance and wealth management.<\/p>\n

Wigwe concludes, \u201cWe recognize and embrace the change that is currently happening and, as we have previously demonstrated, we will lead. Access Corporation will be a driving force in the ongoing digital revolution to the benefit of our stakeholders. This transition will allow us to offer more career development opportunities across portfolio companies for our employees, allowing us to attract and retain the best talent in an increasingly global marketplace. We will unlock more value for our customers by focusing on distinct business opportunities with high growth rates globally, such as payments and consumer lending.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
