He said the bank had continued to invest in technology, systems and people to enhance customer experience and redefine its service delivery process in line with evolving customer expectations.
“Apart from constantly improving the way in which better customer support can be achieved, the increasing sophistication of our customers have made the bank to also begin to focus more on customer experience innovation with investment being made in technology, systems, and people.

In further acknowledgement, Kolawole said “At Unity Bank, our mission is clear, to make banking simple, accessible, and rewarding for every customer.
” ‘Mission Possible’ captures the spirit with which we approach every challenge and opportunity to serve; whether through our digital platforms, branch interactions, or customer support channels”.
Additionally, the bank’s Chief Customer Service Officer, Elfrida Igebu, emphasised the significance of recognising and celebrating staff who consistently go above and beyond to serve customers.
“This year’s theme reminds us that what may seem challenging is always achievable with the right attitude, teamwork, and customer-first mindset.
