It also helps offset the rising fuel prices caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy. At FCMB, we’re committed to helping people and businesses succeed while backing the government’s push for a stable and sustainable power supply.”
George Ogbonnaya, Group Head of Business Banking at FCMB, said, “at FCMB, we are dedicated to helping businesses thrive. Our new energy finance loan helps businesses and homes access clean energy. It is affordable, accessible through a simple digital process, and designed to support job creation, boost our economy, and promote environmental sustainability.”
FCMB has led the way in advancing renewable energy through funding, capacity-building programmes, and linking clean energy providers with consumers. Over the last three years, FCMB has financed numerous projects, from solar and mini-grids to energy-efficient plants. The bank has also provided free training to support development in the sector.
The Development Bank of Nigeria recently recognized FCMB as the “Best Bank for Impact on MSMEs Accessing Credit for the First Time in Nigeria” and “Highest Disbursement to Sustainability Projects.” A member of FCMB Group Plc, FCMB continues to build a sustainable ecosystem that connects people, capital, and markets across Africa.
