Wema Bank has marked its 81st anniversary alongside the ninth anniversary of its digital banking platform, ALAT, unveiling a customer-focused celebration strategy anchored on rewards and financial empowerment initiatives.
The bank said the anniversary, held on May 2, 2026, will see hundreds of customers rewarded through its ALAT platform and the launch of Season 5 of its “5 for 5” reward initiative.
Unlike its elaborate 80th anniversary celebration in 2025, Wema Bank said this year’s milestone will focus on giving back to customers, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive growth and long-term value creation.
The initiative, themed “Your Future of Possibilities, Powered by Wema Bank,” will also feature a customer success programme designed to support diverse segments, including small businesses, students, working-class women and creatives, with tailored financial guidance and growth opportunities.
Commenting on the development, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, said the bank remains committed to helping customers navigate an evolving financial landscape driven by digital transformation.
“The world is rapidly evolving, and digital innovation continues to create new opportunities. Our goal is to equip our customers with the tools and support needed to adapt and thrive,” he said.
Oseni added that the bank is focused on building a smarter, more responsive financial ecosystem that aligns with customers’ goals and anticipates their needs.
“We are not just providing banking services; we are creating opportunities and building platforms that empower our customers to grow and achieve their ambitions,” he added.
Wema Bank, Nigeria’s oldest indigenous bank, said the anniversary is also an opportunity to appreciate its stakeholders, including customers, employees, regulators and investors, for their continued support over the past eight decades.
The bank reaffirmed its commitment to innovation, financial inclusion and customer-centric service delivery as it continues to expand its footprint in Nigeria’s banking sector.
