Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, a leading pension fund administrator in Nigeria, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious title of ‘Most Financially Inclusive Pension Company of the Year’ at the recently held International Financial Inclusion Conference (IFIC’24).
This significant recognition was presented during an event organised by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and attended by key stakeholders in the financial sector, including regulatory authorities, financial institutions and development organisations.
This is coming at a time when financial inclusion has become a critical focus in Nigeria; seeing that a significant portion of the population remains unbanked or underbanked. With the country’s diverse economic landscape and varying levels of access to financial services, initiatives aimed at bridging these gaps are essential.
The International Financial Inclusion Conference serves as an impactful platform for sharing best practices, innovative strategies and collaborative ideas aimed at enhancing financial accessibility.
This year’s conference emphasised the importance of tailored financial products and services that cater to different demographics, particularly the economically disadvantaged.
This accolade marks a significant milestone for Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, as it continues to advocate for financial education and empowerment; striving to create a secure future for individuals through effective pension management.
The recognition not only reflects the company’s efforts but also serves as motivation to pursue further advancements in financial inclusivity in Nigeria, contributing to the overall economic growth and stability of the nation.
While receiving the award, Olumide Oyetan, Stanbic IBTC Pension Manager’s Chief Executive, said, “IFIC’24 serves as a vital platform for financial sector stakeholders to collaborate and discuss strategies for enhancing financial inclusion, and we are proud to be recognised among key industry players.
The conference highlighted the critical role of innovative solutions in achieving financial inclusion goals, aligning perfectly with Stanbic IBTC Pension Manager’s vision for accessible and equitable pension services.
