Nigeria’s fastest-growing non-interest banking services provider, TAJBank Limited, has consolidated its frontline position by winning an award at the just concluded Islamic Finance News Awards in Dubai.

According to a statement by its managing director, Hamid Joda, the bank won the ‘Best Islamic Bank in Nigeria’ award through a global survey conducted by the IFN.

Mr Joda attributed the bank’s global recognition to the commitment of the board, management, and staff to the best industry standards for products and services.

“We want to thank IFN for the very credible poll that indicated that TAJBank is leading the non-interest banking segment of Nigeria. We also assure our growing customers that, as our mantra says, TAJBank’s only interest is the customers,” Mr Joda said.

The bank’s co-founder, Sherif Idi, described the IFN award as a testament to the relentless efforts of the management to ensure that TAJBank is the preferred choice for customers.

TAJBank had in 2022 received the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard certification.

It also received three International Standards Organisation certifications by the Certification Partner Global, namely ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO 20000 on Information Security, Business Continuity, and IT Service Management Systems.
