Fidelity Bank

Fidelity Bank Plc has continued to solidify its reputation as one of Nigeria’s most resilient and forward-moving financial institutions.

 

With consistent growth in key financial metrics, the bank’s performance in recent years particularly in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 has showcased its strategic foresight, operational efficiency, and unwavering commitment to shareholder value.

 

Backed by a robust capital structure and strong governance, Fidelity Bank has effectively positioned itself among Nigeria’s top-tier banks, balancing aggressive growth with prudent risk management. The bank’s strategic focus on innovation, customer-centric solutions, and enhanced service delivery has yielded outstanding results.

 

From exceptional profit growth and significant deposit mobilization to prestigious international recognition, Fidelity Bank’s 2025 trajectory reflects not just strong financials but a solid foundation built for long-term sustainability.

 

Here are the 10 highlights of Fidelity Bank Plc’s strength and solidity in 2025:

 

Record Dividend Payout

In 2025, Fidelity Bank declared a total dividend of ₦2.10 per share, translating to ₦89.95 billion paid to shareholders for the 2024 financial year the highest in the bank’s history. This reflects its strong earnings performance and underscores its commitment to rewarding shareholder loyalty with generous and consistent returns.

Exceptional Profit Growth

The bank posted a remarkable 210% year-on-year increase in Profit Before Tax (PBT), rising from ₦124.2 billion in 2023 to ₦385.2 billion in 2024. This unprecedented growth was driven by strong revenue performance, improved cost management, and effective execution of its strategic growth plan.

Robust Q1 2025 Performance

Fidelity Bank started 2025 on a strong note, reporting ₦105.8 billion in PBT in the first quarter alone, up 167.8% from ₦39.5 billion in Q1 2024. This reflects sustained momentum in earnings growth, supported by rising income from both core banking and non-interest revenue streams.

Significant Gross Earnings Increase

The bank’s gross earnings surged by 64.2% year-on-year, reaching ₦315.4 billion in Q1 2025, compared to ₦192 billion in Q1 2024. This impressive performance was driven by increased interest income, robust fee-based income, and gains from foreign exchange transactions.

Strong Deposit Base

Fidelity Bank’s total customer deposits hit a record high of ₦6.6 trillion, representing a major vote of confidence from customers. Notably, foreign currency deposits grew by 21.4%, reflecting the bank’s strong offshore inflows and trust among corporate and high-net-worth clients.

Tier 1 Capital Strength

The bank maintained its designation as a Tier 1 bank in Nigeria, highlighting its robust capital adequacy, asset quality, and operational resilience. This categorization places Fidelity among the elite banks with the capacity to support large-scale transactions and withstand macroeconomic shocks.

Market Capitalization Milestone

In April 2025, Fidelity Bank’s market capitalization crossed the ₦1 trillion mark, elevating it into the league of Nigeria’s most valuable publicly listed banks. This milestone reflects increasing investor confidence and the bank’s rising prominence in the Nigerian capital market.

Prestigious Industry Recognition

Fidelity Bank was named “Nigeria’s Best Private Bank” at the 2025 Euromoney Awards, a global benchmark for excellence in banking. This accolade recognized the bank’s outstanding performance in wealth management, customer service, and tailored financial solutions for affluent clients.

Commitment to Dividend Policy

The bank reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to rewarding shareholders, maintaining a dividend payout ratio of 25%–40% of annual net profits. This policy ensures steady income for investors while preserving capital for future expansion and innovation.

Resilience Amid Legal Challenges

In a demonstration of legal and operational strength, Fidelity Bank successfully resolved a legacy of $3 million court judgment, clearing any reputational risks and financial uncertainties. This resolution underscores its commitment to transparency, governance, and financial integrity.
