Following the court order that the shares of Keystone Bank Limited previously held by the shareholders be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Central Bank
of Nigeria (CBN) has reassure the public that Keystone Bank Limited remains safe, sound, and fully operational.
According to a statement signed by Hakama Sidi Ali (Mrs.) Ag. Director, Corporate Communications “We acknowledge that thisdevelopment may have triggeredcustomer concerns; however, we wish to underscore that the stability of the banking system and the safety of depositors’ funds remain our top priorities. Keystone Bank’s operations are entirely secure, and there is no reason for concern”.
The statement added, for clarity, the Court Order merely reaffirmed the Central Bank of Nigeria’s prior decision to take over the management of Keystone Bank Limited in January 2024, following a change in its leadership.
Since then, the CBN has closely monitored the
bank’s operations to ensure they are in full compliance with regulatory standards,
operational transparency, and the interests of depositors.
As part of our commitment to safeguarding the financial system and building public
trust, we shall continue to monitor the bank’s performance. “We will take all necessary
steps to protect the interests of depositors, staff, and stakeholders”.
Customers are also encouraged to contact Keystone Bank’s customer support or visit
any Keystone Bank branch for inquiries or concerns.
