During the award presentation in Lagos, Andreas Voss, Chief Country Representative of Deutsche Bank AG, Corporate Bank, congratulated Ecobank for this recognition.

He emphasized that the award reflects bank’s excellence in payment efficiency and cash management. Voss noted that the bank’s commitment to excellence, open communication, and proactive strategies have led to significant achievements for both institutions.

“Ecobank’s dedication to excellence and collaborative spirit have made them an invaluable partner. It was an absolute pleasure working with Ecobank. Their processing of Straight Through Processing (STP) transactions is a prime example, as Ecobank achieved an STP rate above 99 percent for foreign currency payments and international settlement services. This success underscores the bank’s high SWIFT payment standards, facilitating rapid beneficiary account credits.”

Segun Anjorin, Acting Head of Corporate Banking at Ecobank Nigeria, acknowledged Deutsche Bank as a valuable partner.

He noted that the Client Excellence Award symbolizes the strong partnership and collaboration between the two banks.

Anjorin reiterated the bank’s  commitment to providing exceptional quality in payment efficiency and cash management, highlighting how STP implementation enhances operational efficiency and ensures compliance with global payment standards.

Announcing the fair in Lagos, Head, SME, Partnerships and Collaborations, Ecobank Nigeria, Omoboye Odu, said the objective is to provide a platform for local vendors to showcase and sell their products to a wider audience, adding that it would also offer exceptional networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, shoppers, and everyone with a stake in the everyday economy.

It would provide premium entertainment and is aimed at bringing together exhibitors and shoppers, to a marketplace.

For us as a Pan African bank, it is one of the several ways we are supporting small businesses.”
