It was an evening of celebration, luxury, and gratitude as Stanbic IBTC Bank hosted the grand prize presentation for its maiden “Save and Enjoy” promo at its corporate headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos, on Thursday, 19 June 2025.
The event, held at the Stanbic IBTC Towers, saw four lucky Private Banking clients rewarded with open business class tickets to global destinations: the United Kingdom, United States, or Canada. This was the climax of a promo campaign aimed at encouraging a saving culture while appreciating the bank’s loyal private banking clientele.
In addition to the grand travel prizes, other top-tier rewards included one-year Priority Pass access to over 900 international airport lounges for five clients, and vintage trolley boxes for 32 clients. The evening doubled as a media parley and networking session, drawing clients from across the country.
Celebrating Client Commitment
Delivering the opening remarks, Layo Ilori-Olaogun, Head, Private Banking, Stanbic IBTC Bank, warmly welcomed attendees and emphasised the bank’s enduring commitment to providing tailored, wealth-sustaining services. She added that the bank recognises the immense value that clients bring and reaffirms its mission to enable wealth creation, preservation, and transfer.
Ilori-Olaogun remarked, “We are fully committed to driving the growth of Nigeria not only with our services, but also without various embedments in community and in the economy to drive sustainable growth.”
She noted that the reward initiative is a tangible way to show appreciation to clients who participated in the campaign, recognising their trust and continued engagement with the bank’s evolving private banking offerings.
Redefining private banking in Nigeria
The evening also served as a platform to introduce Stanbic IBTC’s newly enhanced and rebranded private banking suite. The upgraded value propositions include:
- Dedicated relationship managers and support teams
- Zero Current Account Management (CAM) fees on hybrid current accounts
- Instant credit card issuance
- Paperless digital loans
- Discounted insurance and trust services
- Exclusive event invitations
- And access to specialised offshore banking
- Balancing digital with human connection
The event also included a Q&A session with members of the press, where Stanbic IBTC executives spoke about the importance of merging digital innovation with personalised banking. Ilori-Olaogun confirmed that AI is already integrated into their digital platforms to enhance client experiences and support relationship managers in tailoring financial solutions.
“Our AI-powered systems analyse client data in real time, enabling our relationship managers to make smarter, faster, and more personalised recommendations,” Ilori-Olaogun said. “Still, we believe technology should complement, not replace, human relationships, especially in private banking.”
More to come
Closing the night, the bank expressed its hopes that the “Save and Enjoy” promo becomes a recurring tradition, strengthening relationships with clients and incentivising smart financial habits.
