About Diamond Bank plc

 

Diamond Bank Plc began as a private limited liability company on March 21, 1991 (the company was incorporated on December 20, 1990). Ten years later, in February 2001, it became a universal bank. In January 2005, following a highly successful Private Placement share offer which substantially raised the Bank's equity base, Diamond Bank became a public limited company. In May 2005, the Bank was listed on The Nigerian Stock Exchange.

 

Today, Diamond Bank is one of the leading banks in Nigeria - respected for its excellent service delivery, driven by innovation and operating on the most advanced banking technology platform in the market. Diamond Bank has over the years leveraged on its underlying resilience to grow its asset base and to successfully retain its key business relationships.

 

We have retained excellent banking relationships with a number of well-known international banks, allowing us to provide a bouquet of world class banking services to suit the business needs of our clients. These international banking partners include Diamond bank UK, Bank of Beirut; Banque Libano-Francaise, BHF Bank, BNP Fortis, BNP Paribas, Byblos Bank, Citibank, Commerzbank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, FBN (UK) Limited, HSBC Bank, ING Bank, KBC Bank, Mashreq Bank, Nordea Bank, SMBC Ltd, Standard Bank, Standard Chartered, Svenska Handelsbanken, UBS Zurich.
