Speaking about the impressive feat, Chief Executive Officer of the Group, Jeremy Awori, &nbsp;said the awards are a testament to the group’s drive to always improve the quality of its products to effectively service its customers across its 35 markets in Sun-Saharan Africa. 
“These Awards recognise our intense focus on continually enhancing the value of the products and solutions that we offer to our customers. The awards equally highlight our continuous efforts to provide a better customer experience at every touchpoint across our 35-country footprint in sub-Saharan Africa,” Mr Awori said. 
&nbsp;He said the awards are also proof of the real impact and vision of the Ecobank brand, encapsulated by the bank’s strategy which focuses on Growth, Transformation and Returns. This strategy makes sure the bank always has its million customers at its heart and soul – thus influencing their decision to always choose EcoBank. This, he says, is a key driver of the banks’s success.

EcoBank has been demonstrating its willingness to improve financial services for its customers. Recently, <a href="https://technext24.com/2024/11/11/ecobank-real-time-cross-border-payments/">Technext reported that the bank announced that it is now offering real-time cross-border payments</a> across 35 African markets including Nigeria. This seamless cross-border payment service is estimated to be available for more than 32 million customers across the continent.&nbsp; 
The partnership, the bank says, is set to revolutionise the payment landscape on the African continent by enabling faster, more efficient international payments for businesses and consumers alike. 
The innovation, made possible through a partnership with real-time cross-border payment company, Nium, will see Nium’s real-time payments infrastructure integrated into Ecobank’s existing banking operations. This will empower the bank to enhance its services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).&nbsp; 
The bank, on its part, will connect its existing Swift workflows to Nium, gaining access to real-time transfers, updates, clearing, settlement, and payment tracking, without the need for complex API integrations.
