Abuja: TAJBank Limited has consolidated its frontline position as Nigeria’s most innovative and value-driven non-interest lender, winning an award at the just-concluded Islamic Finance News (IFN) Awards in Dubai. Its Managing Director, Hamid Joda, revealed this in a statement on Monday.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, TAJBank, recognized as Nigeria’s fastest-growing non-interest banking services provider, clinched the ‘Best Islamic Bank in Nigeria’ award through a global survey conducted by the IFN. Joda attributed the bank’s international acclaim to the dedication of its board, management, and staff towards maintaining best industry practices in their products and services. “We want to thank IFN for the very credible poll that indicated that TAJBank is leading the non-interest banking segment of Nigeria. We also assure our growing customers that, as our mantra says, TAJBank’s only interest is the customers,” Joda stated.
The bank’s Co-Founder, Sherif Idi, described the IFN award as a testament to the relentless efforts of the management to ensure that TAJBank remains the preferred choice for customers. TAJBank’s accolades in 2022 included the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification. Additionally, the bank earned three International Standards Organisation (ISO) certifications by the Certification Partner Global (CPG), namely ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO 20000, covering Information Security, Business Continuity, and IT Service Management Systems.
