SunTrust Bank Nigeria Limited has released its financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the results have sent a clear message of determination to succeed and deliver value to all stakeholders.
SunTrust Bank began commercial banking activities last year with the vision to “offer high quality retail and commercial banking services in a modern and innovative manner.”
“We will use technology and a new way of thinking to provide banking services to many people and businesses in Nigeria for whom access to a bank account has previously been impossible.
“We will offer telephone, mobile and Internet banking underpinned by the traditional banking ethics of probity and integrity,” the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Mr Muhammed Jubrin declared.
