The award was presented at a ceremony held at The Savoy in London, underscoring Fidelity Bank’s leadership in wealth management and private banking in Nigeria.
A Testament to Client-Centered Excellence
In a statement confirming the achievement, Fidelity Bank’s Managing Director and CEO, Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, described the award as a significant milestone for the institution and a reflection of its sustained investment in premium financial services.
“We are truly honoured to be recognised by Euromoney as Nigeria’s Best Private Bank,” she said. “This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff as well as our strong commitment to delivering premium wealth management solutions, personalised financial advisory, and superior client service to high-net-worth individuals in Nigeria and beyond.”
The accolade marks another chapter in the bank’s transformation journey and validates its expanding role in serving Nigeria’s elite clientele.
Why Fidelity Stood Out
Euromoney’s panel of judges cited Fidelity Bank’s innovative approach to private banking, noting its ability to combine global best practices with locally relevant financial services. According to the judging panel, the bank’s offering goes beyond traditional banking to include specialised credit solutions tailored to the complex financial needs of affluent clients.
“Clients benefit from tailored lending options, including asset-backed lending, real estate financing, and customised credit facilities,” Euromoney noted. “These solutions are structured to support complex financial needs while ensuring flexibility and ease.”
Fidelity’s robust digital platforms and dedication to privacy, flexibility, and high-touch client service were also factors in its selection.
A Growing Footprint in Private Banking
Fidelity Bank continues to solidify its place among Nigeria’s leading financial institutions. With over 9.1 million customers, 251 business offices across Nigeria, and digital service channels that extend to the United Kingdom, the bank has consistently demonstrated its ability to scale innovation, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
The recognition by Euromoney—a global authority in financial media—places Fidelity among the top-tier institutions redefining private banking across emerging markets.
