LOTUS Bank, a non-interest financial institution, has been named the ‘Best Ethical and Financial Inclusion Bank of the Year’ at the 2025 Banks and Other Financial Institutions Awards.
According to a statement by the bank, the recognition underscored its commitment to advancing ethical banking, financial inclusion, and sustainable prosperity across Nigeria.
Since its inception, LOTUS Bank has championed innovative non-interest banking solutions designed to empower individuals, MSMEs, and communities through transparency, partnership, and shared value creation.
Dr Isiaka Ajani-Lawal, Acting Managing Director of LOTUS Bank, expressed gratitude to the organisers and reaffirmed the Bank’s mission to redefine banking through ethics and impact.
Ajani-Lawal said, “This award is a reflection of our core philosophy that banking should be a force for good. At LOTUS Bank, we are intentional about building a system that not only provides access to finance but does so with integrity, empathy, and innovation. We dedicate this recognition to our customers, partners, and employees who continue to believe in our vision of ethical prosperity.”
With a growing footprint across Nigeria, LOTUS Bank said that it would continue to introduce tailored products that reflect its values of partnership, prosperity, and progress, while maintaining its focus on ethical investing and customer trust.
Ajani-Lawal added, “We see this recognition not as a destination but as motivation to continue deepening financial inclusion and building a more equitable banking future for all.”
