TAJBank Rated Best In Non-Interest Banking

Nigeria’s leading non-interest banking services provider, TAJBank Limited, has been rated with Bbb+ by the foremost rating agency – Agusto & Co -, making it the best rated in the nation’s Non-Interest Banking (NIB) sector.

The latest rating, which is a notch up from the Bank’s previous rating, comes in recognition of the bank’s high-quality balance sheet and robust earnings capacity.

The lender clinched the rating of Bbb last year despite the prevailing economic situation, but this year took its operational efficiency and best practice principles higher to Bbb+, which industry analysts attributed to the bank’s zeal and strong performance rendering its innovative products and services to its growing customer base.
