October 26, (THEWILL) – First Bank of Nigeria has dismissed misleading reports that it is presently carrying out any system upgrade.
The bank in a statement signed by its Group Head, Marketing & Corporate Communications, Folake Ani-Mumuney, said the misleading report was wrongly interpreted.
The statement read: “We wish to address a misleading report circulating in the media regarding a system upgrade at FirstBank.
“The message which was incorrectly interpreted and reported was sent to, and intended for our vendors only and focused on transitioning from our current I-Supplier Platform (our automated platform that connects us to suppliers) to a new Cloud-based Supplier Platform (world-class platform for managing suppliers), to enable additional capabilities and benefits for our vendors.
“Please be informed that no system upgrade is currently underway, and all our customer applications are fully operational. We are not experiencing disruption to our services, and our banking systems, customer transactions, channels, etc, will not be affected by the enhanced supplier platform.
“Rest assured that our commitment to seamless service delivery remains unwavering as you continue to enjoy uninterrupted access to our services.”
