Fidelity Bank Extends Care to Senior Citizens in Lagos

Fidelity Bank Plc has once again demonstrated its strong commitment to social responsibility by reaching out to senior citizens at the Old People’s Home in Yaba, Lagos.

The initiative, organized by the Prolific Inductees Class of 2025 under the Fidelity Helping Hands Program (FHHP) — the bank’s flagship employee-led Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform — provided essential support and companionship to the elderly residents.

Through the FHHP, Fidelity Bank staff identify meaningful community projects, mobilize funds, and receive matching financial support from the bank to implement them, thereby deepening the culture of service and empathy among employees.

Speaking during the outreach, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications at Fidelity Bank, highlighted the bank’s philosophy of building a mutually beneficial relationship with society.

“Our success as a financial institution is built on the trust and patronage of our customers. Without the community, we do not exist,” he said. “The donation to the elderly home is not just about material support, but about showing love, dignity, and respect to our senior citizens while reaffirming our culture of service to humanity.”

The residents of the home expressed deep appreciation for the gesture, offering prayers and words of gratitude to the bank. One of the beneficiaries said, “God will reward you in a large way and take you higher.”

Through continuous initiatives like the FHHP, Fidelity Bank reinforces its reputation as a socially conscious institution, showing that true growth is achieved through compassion, community trust, and long-term investment in people.

Ranked among Nigeria’s leading commercial banks, Fidelity Bank Plc serves over 9.1 million customers through digital platforms, 255 business offices nationwide, and its UK subsidiary, FidBank UK Limited.

The bank has received numerous awards for excellence, including the 2024 Excellence in Digital Transformation & MSME Banking Award by BusinessDay BAFI Awards; Most Innovative Mobile Banking Application by Global Business Outlook; and Most Innovative Investment Banking Service Provider by Global Brands Magazine. It was also named Best Bank for SMEs in Nigeria by Euromoney Awards for Excellence and Export Financing Bank of the Year by the BusinessDay BAFI Awards.
