Development Banking Desk

For Profit Organizations  like International Non-Governmental Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, Bilateral and Multilateral Institutions, Donor Agencies, Embassies etc. who strategically  carry out projects and initiatives that are geared towards economic development and social progress, the unit is a fall out of the development banking team which has the responsibility of managing not for profit organizations and has been operating  in the bank for over a decade and counting, while the desk was established in 2023.

In line with the banks vision of being the world’ most respected African bank and as a  leading financial institution Access Bank is aligning its strategies with United Nations sustainable development  goals which include (end poverty, zero hunger, health , education ,energy ,economic grow, infrastructure , equality, climate change etc) In furtherance to this the Development banking team and desk work together with Sustainability team to strictly deal with institutions/organizations that comply with the 17 sustainable Development Goals.
