What will their new name be now?

First polaris bank

So we could have another one called "second polaris bank"

Pun intended

ITbomb:
Polaris don suffer

From AfriBank to Mainstreet to Skye to Polaris and finally to First Bank

You forgot it was once Cooperative Bank too

kponkedenge:


Afri Bank, the good old years I use to buy my GCE and JAMB form from.

So you wrote plenty of GCE and JAMB theater you used to buy from them.
Abstain from social media and study some people will see it as an insult.

ITbomb:

And here I was thinking I'm having a sane discussion about name change with a homo sapien, not knowing some egoistic homo erectus is behind the keyboard

You need a complete brain transplant. Sorry, the current one you have is damaged.
And please go back to your school to reclaim your school fees, because you obviously learnt nothing.

A firstbank that I cannot withdraw my last 1K, is that one a firstbank?



We are talking Sterlingbank, you are talking Firstbank....

It obvious it been a while you bank with FBN.. You can withdraw your last 1k... A minimum
of N100 is the money that must be your account at always... All the same if you have exact 1000k u can still withdraw it

kzeebaba:


Guess u still staying in the village, the minimum balance on savings is 100naira

Ecobank is on zero naira for savings now.

MrHighSea:

And all but one passed the "merge" exam.

Guaranty trust bank is still my best so far.

POLARIS BANK FIRST WANTS TO ACQUIRE WAS AFRIBANK BEFORE,LATER IT CHANHED TO MAINSTREAM BANK,THEN TO SKYE BANK.NOW IT WANNA MERGE WITH FBN

AFRIBANK SHARE IS WITH ME. I WANT TO SELL IT OUT.

All this things.... Like this merger would just end up getting people sacked. There's just no job security in the banking sector
Well, for your smart TVs and Soundsystems, check my signature

moderatedguy:
First bank is the buyer here oo.

yeah, I didn't see that early. Was surprised though

dominique:

Where will you put GTB? The strongest of them all

What is your definition of a strong bank?

Somatic:


Zenith is actually stronger than GTB. Share capital size, total deposits,and overall profitability for over 3 years have consistently put Zenith on top of GTB.and other banks as the number 1 financial institution on Nigeria. Financials of 2019 widened the gap.

Zenith and GTBank are the biggest banks in Nigeria, go check their last year report. Zenith was more profitable than GTBank GTBank was second in the country. The profit margin GTBank had was so much that it was double of the third

Gtb should aquire Sterling

Mikehot:
Can Union Bank, keystone and wema join the merger too

I recommend Gtb to save these banks from their worries

Union bank can never merge with any bank... Union bank is strong

ikennamadu1:

Union bank can never merge with any bank... Union bank is strong

ineffective old people's bank

dingbang:

Long time bro... Are u still with first bank?

ikennamadu1:

Union bank can never merge with any bank... Union bank is strong

zenith just acquired Union Bank.
from a reliable source.

dominique:

Stop spewing trash madam.
How is GTB stronger than Zenith??

Get hold of their financial statements and cure ur ignorance.

don't try my UBA....that bank is not going anywhere too much money wan kill,dat bank

First Bank of Nigeria PLC, truly the first. The very, very, very reliable(If not the most reliable). The only bank I can go to sleep with my two eyes closed.

First bank of Nigeria PLC. The first and the best. The most reliable bank in Nigeria. The only bank I can bank with and go to sleep with both eyez closed.

Its always funny how we the youth of naija nowadays react to rumors.the post above did not state that the merger rumor is valid infact it was denied by that statement "every organisation would like to grow inorganically". meaning its not something they will want to go into.Smh.

Go and check your facts well , Union bank and Wema are very strong banks.
I will rather advise you calm your nerves.

Alezy:
Wow....a whole first bank?

It seems you didn’t understand that article.
First bank and a few other banks passed the stress test conducted by the CBN for all the banks, while heritage, Polaris and 5 others failed the test and were consequently advised to consider an option of merging with a strong bank to avoid a total collapse.

Hence, this merger is a face saving effort, First bank is the STRONG BANK here.

C’est clear?

Minimum bal is now #100 not #1000

First bank is not that powerful Dumb you. FBN is unofficially Nigeria's bank and can acquire 10 banks at once

serendipityF:
For those of you saying mega acquisition. No that's not the case, they are merging not like first bank is acquiring them the way access bank acquired diamond bank oo. First bank is not all that powerful

TheGiftedOne:


Union and GT Banks are also Giants

Union is going soon. Zenith 'll swallow them like access did to diamond

Please my fidelity bank is actually a T1 bank
