This latest development positions the development investment
bank as one of the few players in its industry that has expanded into a
financial institution providing different types of services cutting across
different socio-economic classes.
Commenting on the development and yet another addition to
the group’s consortium of subsidiaries, Sonnie Ayere, group chief executive
officer remarked: “We sincerely thank the SEC and CBN for consent and final
approval, respectively, of our MFB acquisition. This will help to position us
more as a full-fledged financial services institution which will develop and
disseminate various financial products and services that will reach millions of
Nigerians who are underserved.
“We are looking forward to working with all stakeholders,
including the Central Bank of Nigeria, and to expand financial inclusion to
meet the ever-evolving needs of the average Nigerian,” Ayere added.
Also, Funsho Idowu, managing director and chief executive,
LINKS MFB, said that the bank is positioned to carve a niche for itself in the
market space, having just joined the unique group of digital banks to create
loans, investment opportunities, support job creation and empower MSMEs through
unhindered access to its financial services, as clearly spelt out in the bank’s
mission statement.
“This deal, together with our NDIC insurance, will
demonstrate to our customers that they can trust us with their financial
needs,” Idowu said.
Meanwhile, DLM Capital Group, since its inception, has
concentrated on creating markets, products, and long-term financing solutions
to key sectors of the Nigerian economy that would benefit end customers to
improve their well-being. The group comprises subsidiaries in investment
banking, trustees, securities trading, FX, digital banking, asset management,
nominees, and corporate lending.
