The move comes as part of a broader restructuring aimed at separating the commercial banking business from other financial services under its umbrella. This restructuring follows the model of a holding company structure, which allows financial institutions to diversify and operate more efficiently across various sectors.
The proposed name change to First Holdco Plc signals the institution’ s transition to a holding company framework, a strategy that has gained traction in Nigeria’ s financial services industry. Under this structure, First Holdco Plc will oversee multiple subsidiaries, including the core banking operations, insurance, asset management, and other financial services. The holding company arrangement will enable the group to manage its operations more effectively while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
According to insiders, the rebranding reflects the bank’ s commitment to creating value for shareholders, enhancing customer experience, and positioning itself as a leader in the rapidly evolving financial landscape. It also aligns with global best practices, which encourage financial institutions to adopt more robust and transparent structures to mitigate risks and enhance governance.
As the bank transitions to First Holdco Plc, the institution is poised to maintain its legacy of trust, innovation, and excellence while embracing the future of financial services in Nigeria and beyond.
