Nigeria’s leading financial institution, Coronation Merchant Bank has once again blazed the trail in merchant banking with the launch of its mobile banking application. The App which is the first of its kind within the merchant banking space provides customers with easy access to their accounts as well as the ability to perform transactions seamlessly without the need for in-person banking.
In spite of the novel coronavirus, Coronation Merchant Bank has been at the vanguard of pioneering innovative solutions to enable its customers to achieve their strategic objectives.
