Union Bank of Nigeria and Moroco-based Attijariwafa Bank have signed a partnership agreement to support the Pan-African development strategy of both financial institutions.

Union Bank, one of Nigeria’s oldest financial institutions, is looking to expand its reach beyond Nigeria through this commercial partnership with Attijariwafa Bank.

Attijariwafa Bank, a leading multinational commercial bank based in Morocco with over 5,835 branches spread across 26 countries in Africa, Europe, UK, Middle East and Asia, would provide access to its commercial teams for Nigeria-based Union Bank customers in its countries of presence and vice versa.

Union Bank and Attijariwafa Bank would develop new joint business opportunities for their respective customers that seek to support the trade finance and investment corridors between Nigeria and all the countries where Attijariwafa Bank operates.

Speaking at the official signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Casablanca, Mr Mudassir Amray, Chief Executive Officer of Union Bank, said, “This partnership agreement reflects the growth prospects we see for Union Bank as an institution as well as the value-enhancing opportunities we see for our Nigerian customers around Africa and beyond.

“Through this partnership with Attijariwafa Bank, we can provide support to our corporate customers seeking international growth and vice versa. We intend to accelerate cross-border transactions that will pave the way for long-term success leveraging Attijariwafa Bank’s robust banking network in Africa.”
