Wema Bank kicks off 80th anniversary celebration


Wema Bank has commenced its 80th anniversary with the launch of a Valentine campaign.

In a statement on Monday, the bank said the campaign titled ‘80 Years of Spreading Love’ is a customer-focused campaign designed to reward loyalty, strengthen connections, and create unforgettable experiences for customers across all segments.

In the promo, the lender said customers can look forward to an N11m cash prize in its 5 for 5 Promo Season 4, gift cards, movie tickets, fitness access, and luxury spa treatments to make their Valentine’s season extra special. Additionally, students and young professionals will enjoy free airtime and Uber vouchers, ensuring they stay connected while celebrating love.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the campaign, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, said the Valentine campaign is the first in a series of exciting activities leading up to Wema Bank’s grand 80th-anniversary celebration. Through 80 Acts of Love, the bank is rolling out an exclusive bouquet of rewards that will touch the lives of every segment of its customers.

“On May 2, 2025, Wema Bank will turn 80, and as part of our activities, we don’t just want to celebrate this milestone—we want to celebrate the people who have made it possible: our customers. They have journeyed with us through the years, and this campaign is one of our ways of saying ‘thank you. We are a customer-centric bank, constantly seeking ways to reward their loyalty.”

Wema Bank is one of the oldest banks in Nigeria, established on May 2, 1945, and originally operated as a private limited liability company under the name Agbonmagbe Bank Limited. It commenced operations with branches in Ebute-metta, Sagamu, Abeokuta, and Ijebu-Igbo. It was later acquired by the Western Nigeria Marketing Board. In 1969, it was rebranded as Wema Bank Limited.
