Premium Trust Bank opens Redemption City branch, promises to transform the industry

By Olusegun Obisanya

The banking industry is set to experience an unparallel digital revolution meant to transform the industry that had been witnessed before now.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Premium Trust Bank (PTB), Emmanuel Emefienim made the disclosure at the opening of 8th branch of the bank in Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun State.

He noted that although the industry appeared to be crowded, they are in the industry to impact lives and communities with quality services that will be delivered in record time.

“We have a vision to become the number one digital Bank in Nigeria before the end of this year. We are building some serious app that will transform the industry within a very short time. A lot of work has gone into it. It’s going to provide a lot of solutions and answers to a lot of the banking needs that people would want to ask and especially in this period where we are going cashless.

“All of our digital solutions will be good for you to do banking in the comfort of your home without any stress. I encourage you to partner with us, this Bank is well run. We are passionate with what we do, we look at our customers’ needs, we understand them and then we deliver solutions that will address the needs and deliver them in a timely manner. One thing is to know what to do, the other thing is to do it and do it quickly.

On naira scarcity currently impacting lives and businesses nationwide, the MD said, “It’s a collective responsibility. The Central Bank is working really hard. We feel the pain of everybody but I know it’s going to be temporary. Nigerians should be patient.

“What I can assure is that all the banks are working round the clock to ensure that the new notes are dispensed. As you can see that here all the ATMs are dispensing but people need to be patient and within a very short time, we will all overcome this and become stronger as a people and as a nation.”

According to him, the financial institution which was established months ago has won three notable awards: the most innovative bank, the fastest growing bank and the bank of the year in terms of sports development.

“That tells you that we didn’t just come to make up the number, we also came to add value. We will not only do business here, we will also impact community. In all of the location where we have branches, we have impacted lives, communities and Redemption camp will not be an exemption ” the CEO added.

To develop sports in the country, the CEO announced that the bank is on partnership with the Athletic Federation of Nigeria (AFN).

“Two top athletes in Nigeria, Tobi Amusan and Eze Brume are brand ambassadors for PTB. So, we are deliberate about what we do, we don’t just come here to make money, we’re also concerned about the people around us; how we can empower them and make life more meaningful.

Speaking at the event, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye was unhappy with financial institutions in the Camp that carry out business activities and have not contributed meaningfully to their host community even though they make profits from the same community.

The cleric stated, “This is a bank that thinks of impacting society even before they begin to operate. We have several banks represented in this Camp, some of them have been around for years and have not contributed anything to what’s going on in the camp. I remember a couple of years ago, I had to say, write to these people. You are here, you are doing business here.

“You won’t be here if you are not making profits, you have never even said what can we do, what part can we play? Can we make any contribution during the Congress, Convention. Let them know we are not begging; we’ve been surviving without them. And here comes a bank and already on the first day already committed to even tar a road. How can such a bank fail? It then means that the One who has never fails will support this Bank.”

While he prayed for the progress and prosperity of the bank, the General Overseer announced that he was going to open an account the same day.
