PremiumTrust Bank Expands Operations, Opens Branch In Effurun

PremiumTrust Bank has opened a new branch in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.

The Nation Newspaper report stated that the bank, which commenced  commercial operations in April this year, opened its fifth branch in the commercial hub of Delta State.

Welcoming guests at the tape-cutting event held at the new edifice, Managing Director, PremiumTrust Bank, Mr Emmanuel Emefienim, noted that though the bank was new, it parades seasoned bankers with more than 150 years of experience in the industry.

“PremiumTrust Bank is a new bank licensed by the CBN some months back, but it is not entirely new because the management team behind the bank have vast experience in the industry,” Emefienim said.

He highlighted that between April 19, this year, when the bank first commenced its business, the Effurun branch became the fifth branch the bank had opened.

“Today marks a major landmark for PremiumTrust Bank as we open our fifth branch. It should also be noted that within the next two weeks, the Abuja branch will be opened – that makes it six branches in a row,” Emefienim said.

He said the speed at which branches are being opened underscores the fact that the people behind the bank understand the business – saying: “We are not in it to make up the numbers but to make a whole lot of difference in the industry.

“We will deliver the type of service that is peculiar and unique not just to PremiumTrust Bank but to the host communities,” Emefienim added.

He said the bank has come into the   industry not just to increase the number of banking options available to customers, but to do things differently. He highlighted three things that would happen in Effurun as a result of the bank’s entry into the market.
