The bank originally provided its services as a British shipping and trading agencies in Nigeria. The founder of the Bank of British West Africa is Alfred Lewis Jones. He was a shipping magnate and had gotten a monopoly on importing silver currency into West Africa through his company, Elder Dempster shipping company.<\/p>\n<p>He set up the bank to secure deposits for his business and eliminate the barter system. The barter system made room for many errors and faults in his business. The banks helped to establish a uniform medium of exchange. At first, the bank financed only foreign trade and refused to lend to indigenous Nigerians because they have little to offer as collateral for loans.<\/p>\n<p>After Nigeria&#8217;s independence in 1960, the bank started lending to indigenous Nigerians. More Nigerians also began to patronize the bank. In 1965, Standard bank acquired the Bank of West Africa and changed its name to Standard Bank of West Africa.<\/p>\n<p>In 1969, Standard Bank of West Africa incorporated its Nigerian operations and then changed its name to Standard Bank of Nigeria. In 1971, Standard Bank of Nigeria listed its shares on the Nigerian Stock Exchange and was converted to a public company. It then placed 13% of its share capital with Nigerian investors.<\/p>\n<p>In 1977, after the Nigerian civil war ended, the Nigeria&#8217;s military government sought to increase local control of the retail-banking sector. The government&#8217;s action made the Standard Chartered Bank reduce its stake in Standard Bank Nigeria to 38%. Now that the bank no longer had major control, it changed its name to First Bank of Nigeria Limited. At this time, the bank had re-organized and had more Nigerian directors.<\/p>\n<p>In 1991, First Bank of Nigeria Limited changed its name to First Bank of Nigeria Plc after it was listed on The Nigerian Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, the Central Bank of Nigeria required that banks divest from non-core banking businesses to adopt a holding company structure. FBN Holdings Plc. was established to capture all business of the First bank of Nigeria Limited, both banking and non-banking businesses. The new structure resulted in a stronger platform to support the Group&#8217;s future growth locally and internationally. In 2012, the bank changed its name again to First Bank of Nigeria Limited as part of its restructuring strategy. The bank detached its commercial banking business from other businesses in the FirstBank Group, in line with CBN requirements. First bank of Nigeria plc was also delisted from the Nigerian Stock Exchange and replaced with FBN holdings.<\/p>\n<p>The other business groups of FBNHoldings are:<\/p>\n<p>FBN Commercial Banking<\/p>\n<p>FBNQuest<\/p>\n<p>FBN Insurance<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About First Bank of Nigeria Limited (FirstBank) First bank is a Nigerian multinational bank providing financial services in Nigeria.
