Diamond Bank partners WWB to advance financial inclusion

As part of its plan to take banking services to the unbanked and under-banked segments of the Nigerian population, Diamond Bank Plc said it is partnering with Women’s World Banking, WWB, to advance financial inclusion for these segments in the country.

Addressing a press conference after a meeting with officials of WWB, Executive Director, Diamond Bank Plc, Uzoma Dozie said, “For us in Diamond Bank, we are constantly looking at changing the way banking is done to take the frontiers of banking beyond just saving money to empowering our customers. We are also interested in ensuring that the unbanked and under-banked segments of the society, who are not properly serviced, are adequately catered for and there is no better way to do this than to partner with Women’s World Banking that has done this successfully in a number of countries.”

Mary Ellen Iskenderian, President/CEO, Women’s WWB, observed that it was an exciting development to include Nigeria to the 28 developing countries where the organisations work in providing access to finance to low-income earners, especially women.

“We work around the world with financial institutions that see the financial and social value in delivering products for low income earners, particularly women. Diamond Bank with its strong human resources and technological capabilities is an excellent partner to help us reach the population, who are unbanked and under-banked,” she said.
