Fast-forward to today, the bank proudly manages a vast network of over 8,000 agents, the most extensive in the country.
As part of an ongoing commitment to enhance this agency network, the certification program, introduced last year, serves as a powerful testament to Fidelity Bank’s dedication to fostering consistency and excellence in service delivery.
