Fidelity Bank Begins Saturday Banking
Following the effective commencement of the Treasury Single Account (TSA),
Fidelity Bank has announced the commencement of Saturday banking services in
some branches across the country.
The TSA directives mandated the mopping up of all government agencies accounts domiciled in commercial banks to the Central Bank of Nigeria.
In a statement from the bank, effective September 12, 2015, Saturday banking services commenced between 10:00 am to 2:00 pm in 15 select Fidelity Bank branches across the country.
The managing director/chief executive officer of the bank, Nnamdi Okonkwo said: “We are actively changing the way we do business, becoming more focused on our customers’ needs and exceeding their expectations from us.”
He noted the changing business environment, insisting that the only way to remain relevant to customers’ needs was to stay in tune with the times.
Okonkwo said Saturday banking would allow customers to send and receive money to and from over 200 countries of the world.
“The bank’s electronic banking platform will undoubtedly bear the weight of this new strategic direction as branch locations offering Saturday banking service will automatically become dedicated centres for money transfer and online remittances” he added.
The branches include Ketu, Alaba, Computer Village, Gbagada, Egbeda, (Lagos); Ekpoma, Mission Road (Edo State); Aba 3, Umuahia (Abia) and Challenge, Ibadan. Others are Polo Park, (Enugu), Nnewi, Onitsha Main (Anambra); Kano 3 and Owerri Main.
With over 20,000 accounts said to be affected by the TSA, more innovations are expected to hit the market place by the commercial bank in a bid to mobilise retail customers and close the huge financial gap.
