authorities on financial services and banking excellence.
The prestigious recognition affirms the Bank's sustained
leadership in digital innovation, customer experience and financial inclusion,

Commenting on the recognition, the Managing Director/Chief
Executive Officer of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, said: "This award is a strong
validation of the deliberate investments we have made over the years to build a
truly digital bank that puts customers at the centre of everything we do. Innovation
for us has never been about technology for its own sake. It has always been
about creating solutions that make banking easier, faster, safer and more
rewarding for every customer.

ALAT to continuously evolving our digital capabilities, we have remained
focused on anticipating customer needs and building experiences that create
real value. We are honoured by this recognition from Euromoney and inspired to
continue pushing the boundaries of innovation as we shape the future of banking
in Nigeria." He concluded.
A key milestone in Wema Bank's digital transformation has been
the evolution and upgraded version of ALAT, which introduced next-generation
capabilities including voice banking, tap-to-pay functionality, personalised
financial services and integrated investment opportunities through strategic
partnerships. Together with faster digital onboarding, AI-powered fraud
monitoring, intelligent customer personalisation and an expanding agency
banking network, these innovations continue to enhance customer experience
while extending financial services to more Nigerians.
