ProvidusBank has been ranked among the Best Workplaces in Banking 2025, a recognition that underscores its strong focus on employee wellbeing, workplace culture, and commitment to excellence.
The honour, awarded by Great Place to Work, reflects ProvidusBank’s dedication to building an environment where staff feel valued, supported, and motivated to perform at their best. The bank’s culture is defined by values such as integrity, teamwork, innovation, and resilience, which continue to guide both its internal operations and client engagement.
According to the bank’s leadership, the recognition is particularly meaningful because it is grounded in the experiences of employees themselves. Over the years, ProvidusBank has invested in initiatives that foster career growth, promote wellness, and create a sense of belonging — efforts that have translated into higher employee satisfaction and retention.
Kingsley Ogirri, Group Head of Human Resources, noted that the award serves as a validation of policies designed to empower staff. “It shows that the structures we have put in place — from professional development to wellbeing initiatives — are truly making a difference,” he said.
For Managing Director/CEO, Walter Akpani, the recognition is a reflection of the dedication and creativity of the bank’s workforce. He emphasized that ProvidusBank’s success has always been driven by its people. “When you build a culture of trust and collaboration, the results speak for themselves,” he said.
By being named one of the best banks to work for in Nigeria, ProvidusBank joins a select group of financial institutions leading a shift in workplace culture across the industry. For the bank, the recognition is not just a milestone but also a motivation to strengthen its role as an employer of choice while continuing to deliver value to clients.
