Zenith Bank Plc has been named the ‘Best Commercial Bank in Nigeria’ in the World Finance Banking Awards 2021.

The bank disclosed this on Wednesday in a statement titled ‘Zenith Bank maintains dominance, emerges best commercial bank in Nigeria’.

The award, which was announced in the July 2021 edition of the World Finance Magazine, was based on individual banks’ ability to adapt to a continually evolving technological environment, while maintaining top-class customer relations and bolstering their financial footing amidst the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commenting on the award, the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive, Zenith Bank, Mr Ebenezer Onyeagwu, said, “This recognition reflects our resilience and ability to adapt to a very challenging macroeconomic environment exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as our commitment to creating value for our teeming customers through our best-in-class service and innovative products and solutions.”

He expressed his gratitude to the bank’s customers for making Zenith Bank their preferred financial institution, saying this culminated in the award.

The award came after several awards and recognitions received by the bank in recent times for its track record of excellent performance and commitment to global best practices.
