The AGM, which held in proxy, in compliance with the guidelines of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), was moderated by the Chairman of the bank, Mr. Babatunde Kasali with a few shareholders and members of the bank’s board and executives in attendance. Others joined remotely via live streaming.
Shareholder group leaders commended the bank for attaining 75 years in service, 3 years of digital banking with ALAT and also applauded the Board and Management of the bank for the 2019 performance.

For the year under review, Wema Bank announced a gross earnings of N94.89 billion which was a 32.65 per cent increase from the previous year.

The bank also reported an increase in Customer Deposits by 56.35 per cent in the year under review, to N577.28 billion.
