“We are pleased to be recognised by Euromoney as ‘Highly Regarded’ and ‘Notable’ in these five categories.

“This recognition validates the success of our business strategy as we are a digital-led bank with a culture that embeds sustainability across all our operations using a unique triple-pillar model of Citizenship, Sustainability, and Innovation.

“We remain committed to doing our part to contribute to the environmental, socioeconomic, and financial development of our nation and continent while providing our customers with simpler, smarter solutions,” it said.

Euromoney Market Leaders is an independent global assessment of the leading financial service providers across key categories in each market.

The ‘Market Leaders’ rankings take multiple sources of data including qualitative and quantitative to build a robust and objective picture of industry leaders.

“Union Bank was also ranked as ‘Notable’ in recognition of the significant advancements the bank has made in digital solutions.

” In addition to already-existing online channels/tools, and a variety of advanced digital payment methods designed to provide seamless and secure banking experience, Union Bank recently launched SpaceNXT.

“SpaceNXT is a fit for purpose co-creation technology hub for visionaries, techpreneurs and innovators,” it said.

According to the statement, the hub reflects Union Bank’s focus on developing niche technological solutions.

It said, “another area where Union Bank ranked ‘Notable’ was SME banking, in recognition of continued support for small businesses in Nigeria.
