Wema Bank obtains new certification

Wema Bank has been recognised as the best workplace for millennials and for promoting a culture of innovation.

The lender mentioned in a statement on Thursday that the recognition was part of its achievement, being certified as a Great Place to Work for 2024-2025, marking the second consecutive year of receiving the prestigious certification.

The Great Place to Work certification is a globally recognised standard that assesses an organisation’s workplace culture, practices, and employee feedback.

“Wema Bank’s commitment to creating a positive work environment and prioritising employee well-being has earned it this honour once again,” it stated.

According to the bank, it stands out for offering industry-leading employee benefits, including one of the longest standard leave days, a cost-of-living adjustment to help cushion the impact of economic changes, and a salary increase for its non-full-time equivalent employees.

The bank said it provided access to a standard creche and a fully equipped gym for its staff, supporting work-life balance and physical wellness.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Wema Bank, Moruf Oseni, attributed those accolades to the bank’s strong commitment to employee welfare.

“At Wema Bank, we understand that our exceptional output as a bank is a direct result of the dedicated input of our employees, especially the millennials who continue to drive our success. We remain focused on providing an enriching and fulfilling work experience for all our employees,” Oseni said.

The PUNCH reports that Wema Bank unveiled a payment gateway for micro, small and medium enterprises in the country.

The platform named ALATPay, which offers a secure end-to-end shopping experience for customers and instant settlement for merchants, all via the merchant’s unique ALATPay link, was unveiled in Lagos recently.
