Intercontinental Bank is in business to help our customers, clients, employees, and shareholders build and preserve wealth. Our ability to create value for all our stakeholders is driven by a business culture based on common values: Trust in God, Integrity, Helpfulness, Excellence, Resilience and Fairness.
Our vision to be on all continents is driven by a bold global expansion plan that kicked off with our first offshore subsidiary: Intercontinental Bank Ghana Limited, which commenced operations in 2006 with five branches and head office in Accra. Our London subsidiary, Intercontinental Bank UK is up and running. More subsidiary banks will open soon, to exploit identified business windows, in other parts of Africa, America, Europe, Middle East (Dubai) and the Far East (China).
Intercontinental Bank is in technical partnership with BNP Paribas, one of the ten largest banks in the world in the management of Nigeria's foreign reserves. The partnership is also to fuel the bank's drive to being a strong player in global banking by cooperating in areas of trade finance, asset management and product innovation.
In appreciation of the tremendous support from society the bank takes corporate social responsibility seriously. We lead the Nigerian business community in support of two focus areas: Education and health.
At Intercontinental Bank, we constantly upscale our processes to meet the needs and expectations of our increasingly discerning customers and other stakeholders from across the continents.
