Nigeria’s non-interest banking services provider, TAJBank Limited, has won an award at the just-concluded IFN Awards in Dubai, a recognition as the country’s most innovative and value-driven non-interest lender.
According to a statement on Monday, the ‘Best Islamic Bank in Nigeria’ award was won by TAJBank through a global survey/poll conducted by the Islamic Finance News Awards.
The IFN Award honours the best in the Islamic financial industry and is one of the most prestigious awards highly recognised by the global Islamic capital markets.
Speaking at the conferment of the Best Islamic Bank Award on TAJBank in Dubai, the bank’s Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Hamid Joda, attributed the global recognition to “our board, management, and staff’s commitment to best industry standards in products and services packaging and delivery to our highly cherished and growing customers.”
“We want to thank IFN for the very credible poll that indicated that TAJBank is leading the non-interest banking segment of Nigeria and also assure our growing customers that, as our mantra says, TAJBank’s only interest is the customers,” Joda added.
In his comments, the bank’s co-founder/executive director, Sherif Idi, described the award “as a testament to our relentless efforts to ensure that TAJBank is the preferred choice for customers that are looking for the best in service standards powered by well-groomed professionals and world-class technological assets.”
