Mr Herbert Wigwe, Group Managing Director/CEO of Access Bank Plc, has won the African Banker of the Year award for the second consecutive year.
This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by the Tier 1 bank’s CEO, after winning the award at the 2021 edition of the African Banker Awards, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
What they are saying
“We want to be seen as the best bank supporting the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement. In terms of the Diaspora remittances, we are present in key areas in the continent,” Wigwe said.
He added that the bank also wanted to keep supporting key markets on the continent, building a payment gateway and providing trade finance support.
Omar Ben Yedder, Group Publisher of African Banker, said, “Wigwe is one of the most respected bankers on the continent, without a shadow of a doubt.
The bank has gone from a lower ranked Nigerian bank when he joined the group as Deputy CEO to become one of Africa’s leading financial services groups.
He has shown a relentless pursuit for growth, but has done so in a measured and calculated manner. What he and his team have done at Access Bank is nothing short of remarkable.”

Just 1 months ago in 2022, I could not get for a loan, a car and a
house because my credit score was in the low 500. My loan officer
referred me to a credit expert Who removed all the negative items
impacting my credit and increased my score on all bureaus to 795. He did
all this within 1 week and I was able to buy a
house for my family and get approved for loans. You can also reach out to

My experience was funny to say the least, I have a health condition that is cost consuming, this forced me to give into my greed when I was told I could make 100 times the profit if I invested a large amount. I made a one time payment of$20, 000 which I now realize was the biggest mistake I could possibly make. They promised a pay out but of course wasn’t true, they requested for more fees and I kept on paying, in total I had lost$43, 000. They also got me to reveal my trust wallet details, recovery phrase and everything. Long story short they wipe out the funds from my wallet. I reported to the FBI and due to the fact that I could pull some strings they took my case up as priority and redirected me to the Internet Crime Complaint Centre and appointed me an Agent who was able to hack my transaction details and retrieve my funds. My trust wallet details was retrieved and my funds that was wiped out was tracked down and recovered. This recovery saved my life because my health insurance company wasn’t helping, I contacted this Agent via { ADAMWILSON.TRADING at CONSULTANT dot COM and they literally saved my life without even knowing. A REAL STORY TO TELL I TELL YA.
