At the same BAFI Awards, Polaris Bank was declared ‘MSME Bank of the Year’ making it a back-to-back win for the Bank (haven won same award in 2022) in what the organisers described as the Bank’s expansive impact on MSME operators across Nigeria.

In the last Nine Months, Polaris Bank had committed billions in loans to expand operations of MSME operating in Nigeria.

Polaris Bank had in May 2022 launched a N1billion fund for MSMEs in partnership with Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF) in what the Bank explained was aimed at providing the much-needed funding to create wealth and empower entrepreneurs and players within the MSME space in Nigeria, starting with Lagos.

Prior to the launch of the N1billion MSME Fund, Polaris Bank had committed, and indeed, continued to provide multibillion financing to MSME operators across sectors, health inclusive among other incentives, like moratorium on facilities granted to cushion businesses following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses.

Receiving the award on behalf of the Bank, Dele Adeyinka, Retail & Digital Banking Divisional Head, while expressing the Bank’s appreciation to BusinessDay for the recognition, dedicated the awards to the Bank’s customers and stakeholders for making VULTe what it is today and promised that “Polaris Bank will continue to impact MSME digitally through innovative banking products, affordable finance and creative services that add significant value for the greater good of all stakeholders’.
