FCMB

FCMB Plc is the flagship company of the First City Group, one of Nigeria’s leading comprehensive financial services providers. From its early origins in investment banking as City Securities Limited in 1977, FCMB (established in 1982) has emerged as one of the leading financial services institutions in Nigeria, one of the top eight lenders in the country with subsidiaries that are market leaders in their respective segments.

FCMB was incorporated as a private limited liability company on April 20, 1982 and granted a banking licence on August 11, 1983. On July 15, 2004, the Bank changed its status from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company and was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange by introduction on December 21, 2004.

The Bank has witnessed virtually uninterrupted growth for 29 years and employs over 3000 employees. It completed the acquisition of FinBank Plc in February 2012 and subsequently merged with FinBank in October 2012. Following the merger, the FCMB Group now has 2 million customers, 271 branches and cash-centres spread across every state of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a presence in the United Kingdom (through its FSA-authorised investment banking subsidiary, FCMB UK) and a representative office in the Republic of South Africa.

FCMB offers financial services across the Federal Republic of Nigeria. As a leading financial services provider, FCMB is committed to serving the interests of its shareholders, customers, staff and the community. The globalisation of business activity, the expansion of financial markets and the sustained growth of emerging economies, particularly in Africa, are trends for which FCMB, with its focus on Retail & Commercial, Corporate and Transaction Banking is well prepared.

The ambition to be the premier financial services group of African origin has led to its assembling of what is arguably the most diverse and outstanding management team in the Nigerian banking industry while a firm commitment to qualitative customer experience has resulted in the application of global standards of Quality Management within the bank.

FCMB’s success has been recognised by many industry awards over the years both nationally and internationally. In 2008, it won the Euromoney award for the Best Equity House (Nigeria) and was named the Best Investment Bank in Nigeria at the Euromoney 2007 Awards for Excellence. The Bank had been adjudged Nigeria’s most consistent issuing house/financial advisor 1993–1998 by Reuters and SBA Research Limited in June 2000 and was also the winner of the 1999 Platinum Division in the first Reuters sponsored Nigerian Issuing House Awards. In 2000, FCMB also received the inaugural Mergers and Acquisitions award in recognition of its expertise in this area. It has subsequently received the 2001 and 2002 award in the same category.
