First Bank is Nigeria's largest and most successful tier-1
financial institution, operating from over 650 branches across the
country. Driven by a vision to be the
clear leader and Nigeria's bank of first choice, First Bank has continued to
reinvent itself with a view to sustaining its leadership position in the
marketplace on all parameters.
First Bank of Nigeria is a Nigerian bank and financial
services firm. It is the country's third biggest bank.
First Bank traces its ancestry back to the first major
financial institution founded in Nigeria; hence the name. The current chairman
is Prince Ajibola Afonja. The bank is the largest retail lender in the nation,
while most banks gather funds from consumers and loan it out to large
corporations and multinationals, First Bank has created a small market for some
of its retail clients.
The company was named the best bank in Nigeria by Global
Finance magazine in September 2006. The
firm's auditors are PricewaterhouseCoopers(Chartered Accountants). The firm has
solid short and long term ratings from Fitch and the Global Credit Rating
Company partly due to its low exposure to non-performing loans. The firm's
compliance with financial laws has also strengthened with the Economic
Financial Crimes Commission giving it a strong rating.
First Bank of Nigeria maintains a subsidiary in the United
Kingdom, FBN Bank (UK), which has a branch in Paris. The bank also has
representative offices in South Africa and China. In October 2011, the bank
acquired Banque International de Credit (BIC), a leading bank in the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC).
FirstBank was rated a Superbrand in 2007, from a pool of
2000 highly graded brands in Nigeria, by the Superbrand Nigeria Council and the
2012 BrandFinance Banking League tables rated us in the top 500 most valuable

the immense opportunities available in the economy.
