Osunkoya described 2022 as a year of unprecedented challenges for Access Holdings and for society more broadly.
“As a company, we continued to demonstrate our resilience, our ability and commitment to support customers, clients, and wider stakeholders in ever changing economic conditions.
“In January 2023, we began the implementation of another five-year strategy which we shared with the investment community and stakeholders.
“A key aspect of our intent over the next five years is to become a top-five financial services provider in Africa by 2027.
“We will build a large, diversified company, by consolidating our wholesale franchise and embedding ourselves firmly in the retail market.
“This strategy will be digitally led, customer-focused and supported by various collaborations with reputable fintech companies, to deliver a deeply entrenched retail footprint and payment business.
“This will all be supported with strong technological infrastructure and robust risk management framework,” he said.
The Group Chief Executive, Access Holdings, Dr Herbert Wigwe, assured the shareholders of robust dividends in the nearest future.
“As the institution has transitioned to a Holdings Company to capture the opportunities the African market provides, the Company’s ambitions will be supported by seven key enablers (Customer Experience, Digital and Technology, Data and Analytics, Risk, ESG, People and Culture and Brand and Communication).
“These enablers will ensure Access executes seamlessly, to become one of the top five financial services institution in the African Continent by the end of the strategic cycle in terms of revenues, asset base and on a balanced scorecard basis.
“The proven success of our business model gives us a strong foundation upon which we can build the best open financial services platform and set new ambitions, which we unveiled at our Investor Day in January 2023,” Wigwe said.
He said that the group was well positioned to be at the centre of financial flows on the continent – trade, expanding and deepening financial services and serving corporates with excellence – creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
