CUSTOMERS ARE set to receive rewards and support initiatives as Wema Bank marks its 81st anniversary alongside the ninth anniversary of ALAT on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
JKNewsMedia.com reports that the bank confirmed that its 81st anniversary will depart from the grand celebration held for its 80th milestone in 2025, choosing instead to give back to customers.
The programme includes rewards for users on the ALAT app to mark ALAT at nine, alongside benefits for Wema Bank customers during the launch of the fifth season of its 5 for 5 Reward Initiative, scheduled for the anniversary day.
Activities for the anniversary also align with the theme, “Your Future of Possibilities, Powered by Wema Bank”, with the rollout of a specialised customer success initiative.
The bank stated that the initiative will support different customer groups in mapping and building their future, offering tailored, practical and strategic insights to businesses, students, working class women and creatives, among others, to access opportunities and make progress towards their goals.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Moruf Oseni, said the approach reflects the changing global landscape and the bank’s responsibility to its customers.
“The world is rapidly evolving. Digital evolution and emerging technologies continue to present newer opportunities and realities. To thrive, one must be prepared to adapt where needed and ready to leverage the possibilities ahead and this is what we want to help our customers achieve.
“With millions of individuals and businesses in our care, we have a deep sense of responsibility towards helping them make meaningful progress and our 81st anniversary presents the perfect opportunity for us to deepen our efforts towards fulfilling that responsibility”.
He added that the bank is focused on building a smarter and more secure financial future for its customers, where banking aligns with their goals and anticipates their needs.
“We are building a smarter and more secure financial future for our customers, one where banking is effortlessly aligned with their goals, intelligently anticipating their needs and proactively providing the right solutions.
“Beyond banking solutions, we are curating opportunities, providing platforms, building an entire ecosystem engineered in the best interests of every unique Wema Bank customer.
“Our goal is for our customers to grow as we grow, to always be one step ahead, and to make accelerated progress towards their future of possibilities as we journey with them”.
Oseni dedicated the anniversary to stakeholders, including investors, regulators, partners, customers and employees.
“To every stakeholder who has been a part of Wema Bank’s 81 year journey our investors, regulators, partners, esteemed customers and dearest employees this anniversary is dedicated to you, and this is why we have chosen to celebrate this way.
“On behalf of the entire board and management of Wema Bank, I say THANK YOU for 81 historic years. We have, we are, and we will be with you, all the way. Happy 81st Anniversary to us all”.
