Fidelity Bank Plc recently played true to its name at a well attended event where twelve small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) were with N6.4 million in the maiden edition of its SMEs Funding Connect program. The event, which titled, “Entrepreneurship meets Capital,” set the tone for other players in the banking industry as a truly SMEs friendly bank in Nigeria. It was reported that the twelve finalists emerged from more than 2,000 applicants who went through a rigorous selection process conducted by PwC Nigeria, the consulting firm which provided mentorship and capacity building which connected entrepreneurs with investors. According to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bank, Nnamdi Okonkwo, “Today is the beginning of a series of programs that we are planning in Kano, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Aba, others that will bring fund providers to the SMEs. The essence is to bring fund providers together for the benefit of those who need funding”. Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Olufemi Hamzat, who was also a keynote speaker at the event, lauded Fidelity Bank's initiative for supporting SMEs, saying the move is part of the process of revitalising the economy.

Access Bank, one of Nigeria’s leading financial brands, has recorded the highest media mention among Nigerian banks according to a recent Public Relations Intelligence report by Quadrant MSL which reviewed the financial service industry of the banking sector. The study was recently made public by the leading agency and it showed the Share Of Voice, SOV (number of news stories as compared to competitors), sentiments (how the story was viewed by readers) and sector news trends amongst commercial banks during Q4 of 2018. According to Quadrant MSL Managing Consultant, Uche Ajene, “the report exclusively focused on newspaper exposures, despite the fact that many eyes have moved to the online space, yet newspaper still retains high consumer trust and are influential among key stakeholders such as regulators, policy makers and government.” Explaining further, she said: “Based on the nine leading newspapers monitored, Access Bank recorded 209 mentions or 16 percent share of voice, followed by Sterling Bank with 11 percent, while Zenith Bank and Diamond Bank held the third and fourth places with 10 share of voice each.” “First Bank also had a decent performance with nine percent SOV, while Union Bank and UBA got seven percent each. Eco Bank, FCMB, Stanbic IBTC and Fidelity bank received six percent SOV. GT Bank and Wema Bank rated poorly with four and two percent SOV respectively.” Some of the key news drivers for Access Bank were reported to be Access Bank Born In Africa (BAFEST) and the merger announcement gave the bank a boost, especially in the month of December where it recorded a breakaway high number of print media exposures. Sterling Bank, on the other hand, recorded high mention in November, in part due to the launch of a new product, the Device Financing Scheme (DFS). Also, the sponsorship of the AKE Festival and iCreatAfrica Skill Fest, gave Sterling Bank the leverage. Meanwhile, “Trend analysis shows that Wema Bank media presence remained low throughout Q4, the bank did not actively push stories, campaign or events,” the report said. In the overall analysis, Access bank pushed 10 campaigns within the quarter, the report stated. Besides topping the SOV index, Access bank also led in the positive and neutral news sentiment chart, with reports concerning Access Bank merger with Diamond Bank dominating the news pages. This was followed by Sterling Bank which recorded 11 percent of the banking sector positive news stories. Zenith bank on the other hand saw 10 percent of the positive news from its sports campaigns, followed closely by First Bank which had nine percent positive sentiments, manly driven by stories about FirstGem which pushed entrepreneurship empowerment for women. But for a few banks in the period under review, the banking sector recorded low negative news. “At 42 percent, Union bank amassed the most negative news sentiment in the quarter owing to reports about the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) involvement in some of the bank’s activities.” “Diamond Bank saw a 16 percent negative sentiment share, spurred by views that their merger with Access Bank stemmed from poor performance,” stated the report. The report also noted that negative news in the quarter was driven by regulatory matter and larger discussions on debt and investment. Conversely, GT Bank, known for consistent consumer engagement remains a surprise here with only two major campaigns. It is important to note that they may have had other campaigns pushed on their online medium. But Wema Bank was unlisted as they did not have any campaign during the period in review.
