Summit Bank Unveils Ethical Banking Vision to Promote Inclusive Financial Growth in Nigeria
Nigeria’s newest non-interest financial institution, Summit Bank Ltd, has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering ethical and inclusive banking services across the country. Just months after beginning operations, the bank says it is strategically positioned to redefine financial transparency and empower customers from all walks of life.
Speaking at a press conference at the bank’s headquarters in Abuja, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sirajo Salisu, assured stakeholders that Summit Bank is “up and running” with a clear mission to support financial advancement nationwide. He described the bank as a purpose-driven institution built on integrity, transparency, and innovation.
Dr. Salisu emphasized that Summit Bank was designed to make non-interest and ethical financial solutions accessible to individuals, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and corporate organizations. “Our vision is to be Nigeria’s leading ethical bank—driven by shared prosperity, accountability, and customer trust,” he said, reinforcing the institution’s pledge to provide sustainable and fair banking services.
Addressing ongoing media speculation, Dr. Mukhtar Adam, the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, highlighted that the bank’s leadership team consists of accomplished professionals with experience in top-tier Nigerian financial institutions. “While some of our directors have served at reputable banks such as Zenith Bank, Summit Bank is an independent, well-regulated financial entity governed by a professional board and fully compliant with Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) guidelines,” Adam clarified.
With its official unveiling, Summit Bank joins the growing movement toward ethical banking in Nigeria, offering a credible alternative for customers seeking transparent, interest-free, and values-driven financial services. The bank’s leadership expressed confidence that its inclusive approach will strengthen trust in the nation’s banking ecosystem and support broader economic growth.
