Background

In May 2022, Axe Finance unveiled an exciting collaboration with Fidelity Bank, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, aimed at revolutionizing its Corporate Lending processes. Recognizing the need to adapt to evolving market dynamics and stay ahead in an increasingly digital landscape, Fidelity Bank made a strategic decision to embrace Axe Finance’s flagship solution, the Axe Credit Portal (ACP) software. This innovative platform promised to modernize and streamline every aspect of Fidelity Bank’s Corporate Credit lifecycle. With its robust features and user-friendly interface, ACP offered Fidelity Bank the flexibility and scalability required to meet the complex demands of modern banking.
