Wema Bank has been acknowledged as the top workplace for millennials and for fostering a culture of innovation.

In a statement released on Thursday, the bank highlighted that this recognition is part of its accomplishments, having been certified as a Great Place to Work for the years 2024-2025. This marks the second consecutive year the bank has received this esteemed certification.

The Great Place to Work certification is an internationally recognized benchmark that evaluates an organization’s workplace culture, practices, and employee feedback.

“Wema Bank’s commitment to creating a positive work environment and prioritising employee well-being has earned it this honour once again,” it stated.

The bank is recognized for its exceptional employee benefits, which include one of the most generous standard leave policies, a cost-of-living adjustment designed to mitigate the effects of economic fluctuations, and salary increases for non-full-time equivalent staff.

Additionally, the bank offers its employees access to a standard childcare facility and a fully equipped gym, promoting both work-life balance and physical health.

Moruf Oseni, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Wema Bank, credited these achievements to the bank's unwavering dedication to the welfare of its employees.

“At Wema Bank, we understand that our exceptional output as a bank is a direct result of the dedicated input of our employees, especially the millennials who continue to drive our success. We remain focused on providing an enriching and fulfilling work experience for all our employees,” Oseni said.

Wema Bank has introduced a payment gateway designed specifically for micro, small, and medium enterprises in the country.

The platform, called ALATPay, provides a secure shopping experience for customers and ensures instant settlement for merchants through a unique ALATPay link. This service was recently launched in Lagos.
