Heritage Bank, the newest player in the Nigerian banking sector, has opened its first two branches in Marina, Lagos and Dugbe in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital.

While the Marina branch went on stream mid-March, the Ibadan office opened for business in the first week of April.

Describing the development as momentous in the life of the new bank, the Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Mr. Ifie Sekibo, speaking at the Ibadan branch opening, noted that the Nigerian banking landscape has now been primed to witness great development and innovation, especially in the deployment of technology to give the banking public a fresh experience.

According to him, “This is the dawn of a new day in the banking industry as we make history with the full establishment of Heritage Bank.

It is a new day that births our offering of trans-generational significance as we commit to helping Nigerians create, nurture and transfer wealth to the significant others in their lives.

“With the launch of our operational branches, we have signed up to the charter of establishing a bank that is tuned to the discipline of global best practices and the passion of delivering transformational experiences for everyone that honours us with their custom.

Our commitment will always be to harness what you have and grow it into what it can be with you and your generations’ security in view.

“We are poised to leverage our over 150 years combined experience, great people and cutting-edge technology to build and most importantly, preserve your heritage, once you choose to partner with us in this unique journey we have embarked on”, Sekibo added.
