Intercontinental Bank Adds 25 new branches

As part of plans to increase its operational branches in the first half of the year, Intercontinental Bank recently added 25 new branches to its network to deepen its reach to customers.
The additional new branches on the Intercontinental Bank’s network bring the number of its branches across the country to 367.
Dr. Erastus Akingbola, group chief executive told journalist recently that the expansion of the bank’s business locations had informed the position of the bank’s management not to downsize staff against the backdrop of massive lay-offs in the banking industry occasioned by global financial meltdown, as staff would be needed in the proposed branches.
He revealed that with the increase in branch network Intercontinental Bank’s services would be brought further closer to the Nigerian banking public in places like Hotoro, Kura, Dawanu Market all in Kano State, kumo, Dukku, Yemaltu-Deba in Gombe State, Ilorin in Kwara State, Garrison, Rumukoro in Port Harcourt and Ikom in Cross River State.
The bank also spreaded  its tentacles to Uromi in Edo State, Ijebu-Igbo and Ikene  in Ogun State, Saki in Oyo State, Anyingba in Kogi State and Keffi  in Nassarawa State.
Ejigbo, Ayobo, Article Dealers Association Plaza, Satellite Town, Tin Can  Island all in Lagos State, University Of Agric Umuahia in Abia State, University of Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti State, Kotangora, Lapai  in Niger State and Bukuru in  Plateau State were not left out.
Akingbola attributed the bank’s success to the vibrant patronage it has received from the banking public since inception hence its reward to customers. He said ‘‘we are using the opportunity of our 20th anniversary to reward our customers for their loyalty’’.
The recent performance indicators as approved by regulators indicated that the bank has sustained its position among the top five banks in the country today and also at the forefront in many other areas. 
Intercontinental Bank Plc was listed along with four other Nigerian Banks on the World’s top 500 banking brands. The bank emerged the fastest growing bank in the world in year 2007 and became the first to hit N1 trillion deposits last year with results of continuous growth.
