Stanbic IBTC Opens Regional Office in Ikeja
STANBIC IBTC Bank, a member of the Standard Bank Group has commissioned its Lagos mainland regional office located on Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos, to cater to the personal and business banking needs of its customers within Ikeja and environs.
Commissioned by Tunde Fowler, executive chairman, Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, last week, the ultra-modern office complex with ample parking space further buoys Stanbic IBTC’s branch expansion programme which has delivered 70 new branches in the last ten months.
Opening a magnificent regional office at a time when the banking industry is experiencing growth constraints shows the strength of the Stanbic IBTC brand, Fowler said during the opening.
“This significant investment in Lagos State in a time of crisis in the financial services sector reflects the strength of Stanbic IBTC Bank, as well as the strategic economic importance of Lagos State to the bank’s goal of advancing socio-economic development in Nigeria and the empowerment of its people,” he said.
Explaining the bank’s rapid expansion across Nigeria, Jacques Troost, executive director, personal and business banking, Stanbic IBTC Bank said it is in line with the bank’s determination to bring world class banking services closer to the doorsteps of Nigerians.
“Stanbic IBTC is as much a retail bank as it is an investment bank, the bank’s determination to enable retail customers across the country physically access its array of services is one prime consideration for its rapid expansion.
The full suite of Stanbic IBTC products and services are accessible at any of our more than 123 branches spread across the country,” he added.
According to him, “We are running fast to meet our branch expansion target because our major pre-occupation  is to continuously avail different customer segments of exceptional value by means of customized products and service offerings that span the full suite of products and services offered by Stanbic IBTC, in a responsible manner.” 
The regional office encompasses the Allen Avenue branch of the bank which has since commenced operations in its ultra-modern and spacious banking hall managed by trained customer services personnel who leverage on Stanbic IBTC’s deft understanding of the local market and its access to both local and international capital, as well as business opportunities to deliver world class service to customers and potential customers alike.
