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.
