THE bank’s executive director, Mrs Carol Oyedeji said the initiative, which is scheduled to launch in Lagos on the 7th of July, 2021, is specifically designed for women in business and for businesses with a high percentage of female executives or employees.
She said, “Ecobank understands that women’s needs are unique and has put in place the appropriate resources to meet those needs. With Ellevate, we recognise and acknowledge the critical role of women in society. Ellevate offers women-owned businesses a wide-reaching suite of solutions, incorporating smarter money management, discounted financing, and value-added services that female entrepreneurs need at the right time”.
The Ellevate initiative is a testament of the bank’s commitment to empowering women with the provision of platforms and opportunities for growth. The programme will also target manufacturers of products used by women.
