Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers has been awarded the ‘‘Most Financially Inclusive Pension Company of the Year’ at the International Financial Inclusion Conference (IFIC’24), held recently.

 

 

This  recognition was presented during an event organised by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and attended by key stakeholders in the nation’s financial sector, including regulatory authorities, financial institutions and development organisations.

 

 

Of more significance, the organisation stated, was the timing of the award,  coming at a time financial inclusion has become a critical focus in Nigeria; especially when  a  significant portion of the population still remains unbanked or underbanked.

 

 

 Financial Inclusion Conference serves as an impactful platform for sharing best practices, innovative strategies and collaborative ideas aimed at enhancing financial accessibility.

 

 

 This year’s conference emphasised the importance of tailored financial products and services that cater to different demographics, particularly the economically disadvantaged.

 

 

The recognition, therefore marks a significant milestone for Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, as it continues to advocate for financial education and empowerment; striving to create a secure future for individuals through effective pension management. 

 

 

While receiving the award, Olumide Oyetan, Stanbic IBTC Pension Manager’s Chief Executive, described the “IFIC’24 as serving  as a vital platform for financial sector stakeholders to collaborate and discuss strategies for enhancing financial inclusion.

 

 

“We are proud to be recognised among key industry players. The conference highlighted the critical role of innovative solutions in achieving financial inclusion goals, aligning perfectly with Stanbic IBTC Pension Manager’s vision for accessible and equitable pension services.

 

 

“We believe that financial inclusion is not merely a goal; it is a fundamental right that empowers individuals, enhances economic stability, and fosters sustainable growth in communities,” he added.
