WITH the opening of its flagship branch in Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt, Rivers, Premium Trust Bank has entered the list of licensed commercial banks in Nigeria.
Premium Trust Bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Emmanuel Emefienim, declared at the inauguration that the bank would provide consumers with high-speed service delivery.
He expressed his joy at the bank’s entry into the nation’s deposit money banking business, citing the millions of discerning clients it wants to serve.
“So, customers now have more options to make the kind of choice that will suit their businesses – with benefits to us; the customers, banking industry and the economy at large.
“We have realised that while all banks talk about and offer the same kind of service, the difference is in the execution of service.
“Talk is always cheap but the speed of execution is something that will speak for Premium Trust Bank in the industry.
Emefienim stated that the bank would use its modern technological platforms to provide its customers with quick and world-class service.
“We are going to be deliberate about this, considering that we know the people and market; we have the experience and understand the environment and business.
“Secondly, we will sit with our customers, extract from them what their specific needs are, and then, co-create solutions towards meeting those needs.
“Consequently, customers will be part of the process, and after engaging with them, we will proffer solutions and come up with products that are tailor-made to solving the problems,” he added.
According to the managing director, plans are already in place to launch five new locations in the next 60 days, followed by 16 more branches around the country by the end of 2022.
He added that the bank would roll out its digital platform at the 22 branches it plans to open by the end of December in order to reach millions of Nigerians who are now unbanked.
“We are confident that Premium Trust Bank will become a household name in Nigeria – known for our preference for every discerning customer within the next five years,” he expressed optimism.
