Abbey Mortgage Bank Drives Financial Inclusion with Digital


Abbey Mortgage Bank Plc has announced plans to aggressively expand its digital ecosystem and deepen financial inclusion across the country following the successful conclusion of its 34th Annual General Meeting.

The meeting, held virtually under the theme “Shaping the Future”, brought together shareholders, regulators, and the Board of Directors to review the bank’s strategic trajectory and financial performance. During the AGM, shareholders overwhelmingly backed the bank’s vision, approving key resolutions that include a substantial capital raise and the declaration of a dividend payout. Shareholders praised the financial institution’s resilience and operational performance amid a rapidly evolving macroeconomic landscape in Nigeria.

The primary objective of the new capital injection is to accelerate the bank’s transformation into a more robust financial services provider, allowing it to reach previously underserved demographics.

Speaking on the bank’s strategic direction, the Managing Director and CEO of Abbey Mortgage Bank, Mobolaji Adewumi, emphasised that the future of the institution relies heavily on breaking down conventional banking barriers.

“Our next phase is centred on delivering seamless and digitally driven banking experiences that eliminate the traditional barriers to premier financial services,” Adewumi stated during his address.

He further noted that the financial sector requires a careful balance of flexibility and security to remain relevant to contemporary consumer needs.

“Shaping the future means building a resilient institution that is as agile as it is reliable, while ensuring that every stakeholder benefits meaningfully from our growth and expansion,” Adewumi added.

The bank’s leadership highlighted that its reinforced corporate governance culture and upcoming digital innovations are designed to transition the company beyond traditional mortgage banking into broader financial services. By scaling up its e-business architecture and retail sales operations, the bank intends to make financial tools more accessible to everyday Nigerians. Management concluded the meeting by thanking shareholders for their continued loyalty and confidence, which remain central to driving Abbey Mortgage Bank’s ongoing expansion within the nation’s financial services market.
