Ecobank Nigeria, a subsidiary of the Ecobank group, says it has merged 74 of its branches.
The bank says it will deploy staff from the merged branches to other projects.
The bank says it will deploy staff from the merged branches to other projects.
A statement by the bank reaffirmed its commitment to digital transformation, which would enable customers carry out banking activities online, thereby reducing the need to visit physical locations.
Charles Kie, the managing director, said the bank hopes to shift its activities to digital channels and improve customers’ experience at reduced cost.
This, he said, also supports the bank’s financial inclusion strategy and the cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Kie said the bank has enhanced its retail Internet banking platform with the Ecobank mobile app that enables customers to do instant payments; open accounts, as well as do instant transfers across 33 countries in Africa.
“After a detailed analysis of the physical network of branches needed to serve our customers, the decision was made by the Ecobank Nigeria board, and approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria, to optimise 74 out of its 479 branches,” Kie said.
The statement failed to touch on Thursday’s reports that the bank had terminated the appointment of about 50 top personnel staff.
“We are deploying staff and other resources from the merged branches to other ongoing projects, while also strengthening the existing branches to make them more resourceful and up to speed in their daily activities,” he added.

Deploy is a graceful way of sacking.

ReplyDeleteThe bank is really lagging ..how come they dtill operating sef? Poor management and all. Btw,nothing like deploying staffs,some were given letter of redundancy.
ReplyDeleteEcobank no be bank indeed. Slow like snails. Vested interest everywhere. Flexcube that works in other banks doesn't work in Ecobank. They want to move their customers to echannels.. which one exactly? The mobile app wey no dey work well or the debit card that dissapoints. The problem of that bank is spiritual. If you like go carry the best hands from Citi bank, na the same failure. How many customers una get sef as in real real customers? 7 wetin... if i hear..Make i waka before i open all your yansh for here.
