Ecobank, others have boosted growth – Fashola

By on July 25, 2014

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, says Deposit Money Banks, including Ecobank as well as other businesses have contributed to the development of the state.

He said this at the unveiling of Premier Banking by Ecobank in Lagos.

He said operations of these businesses had helped to make the state a ‘Centre of Excellence’ and West Africa’s commercial capital.

“Ecobank and other banks continue to find our land and our state a place where they can call home, a place where entrepreneurship can take place, a place where commercial and mercantile exchange can take place, a place where those exchanges can bring jobs, dignity of labour and put food on people’s table,” a statement by the bank quoted Fashola as saying.

He commended the bank for introducing the new product, saying “this milestone represents a major statement in innovation; it indicates the direction in which the bank is headed.”

The statement quoted the Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Mr. Jibril Aku, as saying that the new initiative gave customers the privilege of having a variety of exclusive lifestyle benefits, including preferential airline and hotel rates and rewards from luxury brand retailers across the world.

He said the high net worth customers would also have the added assurance of purchase protection, safe custody and private services.

According to the statement, the Premier Banking at Ecobank personalises banking services that suits individual life style of customers in a collaborative way that provides additional value beyond everyday banking.

Aku added, “Whether at an Ecobank branch or at your home, personal Relationship Manager will be there to help customers make the right banking decisions. Premier Banking customers are offered a range of multi- currency savings and lending products with preferential rates as well as special Platinum cards with full insurance protection. If a customer loses the card it is replaced free within 24 hours.”
