The Bank was
awarded these three noteworthy certifications by MSECB, a leading international
provider of audit and certification services, after being rigorously assessed
and found to be in accordance with the management system requirements covering
Information Security, IT Service Delivery, and Business Continuity standards

These latest
certifications will enable the bank to continue to offer its customers improved
data security, innovative banking solutions, and seamless service delivery
through its state-of-the-art banking network.

Bank, Francis Mojoyinlola, said: “The Bank’s continued adherence to best
international practices, as acknowledged by an independent third-party audit
from a reputable international certification firm, reaffirms our capacity to

practices.
