The Managing Director, Enterprise Bank Limited, Mr. Ahmed Kuru, has said that Enterprise Bank has renewed its  relationship with Union Bank UK Plc as partners,opening up a lot of business opportunities, which will be mutually beneficial to both banks.      

A statement quoted Kuru as saying  this while receiving the management of Union Bank UK in the bank’s corporate head office in Lagos.

He said the management at Enterprise Bank would continue to do business with Union Bank UK because the foreign bank supported the defunct bank that gave birth to Enterprise Bank even when the going was tough.

Kuru said, “I want to use this opportunity to first of all thank you because your bank from what I know, supported the bank that gave birth to Enterprise Bank all through the period even when most offshore banks were not willing to do business with it. Now that we are fully recapitalised, I think this is the time to move the bank to the next level.

“In doing that however, we will not forget some tested and trusted partners like the Union Bank UK for choosing to stick with us as partners in progress. We need your support as always to continue to grow this bank.”

In response, the Managing Director and Chief Executive, Union Bank UK, Dr. Adekola Ali, said the visit was to restate their interest in the partnership.

He said, “It is a pleasure to be here because Enterprise Bank is one of the few banks in Nigeria that we have constant business relationship with. With the new developments in the bank, we see EBL as a new start-up bank and we want to be part of its systematic growth. We want to work together with EBL and grow together.”
