Merger: Access ARM Pensions plans nationwide customer engagement

Access ARM Pensions Limited has announced plans to meet with customers nationwide to address concerns about the implications of the newly approved merger.

At a client engagement on Tuesday in Abuja, the Managing Director and CEO of Access Pensions Limited, Dave Uduanu, reassured clients about the security of their pension funds.

He restated the firm’s commitment to delivering top-tier service and safeguarding client assets, following the successful merger of Access Pensions and ARM Pensions.

He noted that the consolidation had created a more robust entity, set to provide enhanced pension management services across Nigeria.

He emphasised that the merger integrated clients into a comprehensive financial services ecosystem, which included a payment platform, digital lending business, insurance brokerage, and banking services with an N27tn balance sheet—ensuring economic stability.

“Your funds are safe with us, but beyond that, we are committed to elevating the quality of service you receive,” Uduanu affirmed.

The Access ARM Pensions CEO also highlighted the firm’s comprehensive risk management framework, which was closely regulated to ensure the safety of its N3tn assets under management.

“Our governance structures and oversight mechanisms are stronger than ever. As we continue to grow, regulatory scrutiny will only intensify, adding another layer of assurance for our clients,” he added.

Last week Tuesday, the National Pension Commission announced the approval of the ARM Pension Managers Limited and Access Pensions Limited merger.

“This merger is not just about securing funds; it is about providing superior service tailored to meet our clients’ evolving needs.

“We will engage directly with our clients across key geopolitical zones, including Lagos, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, and Kaduna. It is crucial for us to bring the conversation to our clients, to better understand and address their needs,” he explained.

He also highlighted the advantages of being part of the broader Access Holdings ecosystem, which offers a range of additional services.

“There are tangible benefits to being part of the Access ecosystem. When we hear our customers’ needs, we take them back to the corporation to explore how best to serve them.

“Our ambition is to lead the pension market in Nigeria, and this merger accelerates our path to that goal. Starting from scratch would have taken decades, but this move positions us as a formidable challenger in the sector,” Uduanu added.

During the engagement session, clients expressed their support for Access ARM Pensions, encouraging the firm to maintain its focus on delivering strong investment returns.
