Speaking, the Managing Director of the bank, Mr. Olufemi Bakre, said the bank’s promise to its customers is to be an enabler of limitless banking.

While also unveiling the bank’s logo, Bakre established that Parallex Bank is the first bank in Nigeria to migrate from a microfinance bank to a commercial bank.

“On the app, customers can choose to create their unique account numbers, increase their transfer limits, make five free transfers per day to any bank in Nigeria. They can request for free debit cards, which will be delivered to them for free. They will receive prompt responses to enquiries. With this the level for us in the next five years is to see how to become a national bank, “he stated.
