Don’t say what you don’t know…Unity bank has one of the best network infrastructure amongst banks in the country…
Oga, stop it. At some points, you could send money to unity bank, and it'd take 4 days to deliver.

Stop spreading lies.
Do you at all understand what merger is?
The fact that two banks decide to merge does not mean that they are having money crisis.

They may not have the needed finances.

Providus bank is good, but they need to spread to other part of the country.

You are a small thinking child.

Issues of merger often occur within coherent concerns, that is, organizations with similar culture, values and models.

Have you seen the vast differences between the subject banks in terms of the above mentioned variables? That is an indication that this is a merger of sudden and urgent necessity. Most likely, a survival advised process from CBN.

You don't speak to people with emotions. Learn to be claiming down and widen your ideas.

How do you think one of the most sophisticated, fast pacing, and classy banks in Nigeria, will go and merge with a very slow growing, and one of the most technologically and infrastructure deficient banks. .

Pay a visit, and experience both banks and revert.

Network infrastructure goes beyond mobile app.I use their unifi app and it works seamlessly.There’s no time you go to any of their branches and they will tell you they have network challenge unlike some banks which I will not mention,

The merger may still not save the two banks...the best merger in the banking sector ever was diamond/access...two heavyweights

2 heavyweights you say??
Please don't dabble into matters you have little technical know-how on.

Did you see the state of Diamond bank at the time?? It was at the brink of an inevitable collapse and desperately needed saving!!

Access bank came to its rescue!!

Providus bank is one of the most efficient banks in Nigeria. I have operated a current account with the bank for close to 7 years now and I have never visited any or their branches.
The bank is tech savvy.

Trust that Providus Bank will fix this. I use the bank and they don't even have a branch in my location. They are very good and I'm sure they'll fix whatever issues Unity Bank is experiencing.

What about Oceanic Bank and ECOBANK?

What about Oceanic Bank and ECOBANK?
lol...all the ecobank branches I know are always empty or at best scanty. These days if you have 10 people to transfer money to, 3 at least will be access customers while the other banks share the rest with none having more than two account holders... Ecobank might have none in several samples... experiment it.

Unity Banks Customer all moved to TAJ Bank.

Providus Bank is too young to swallow Unity Bank, they need Customer Spread and Quick Assets

Unity Bank needs Capital to pull its weights Loan Quality, Asset Quality and Regulatory Requirements.

In these two scenario, there is still a long way to cover towards the Recapitalization, so need to Still Merge or Issue Shares.

In fact, unity Bank midwifed Jaiz Bank. For the infancy period, Jaiz Bank was located on the 3rd floor of Unity Bank's then head office in Abuja. Staff members were given the option to be employed in Jaiz. Both banks use the same banking software and Unity Bank basically created Jaiz bank.
The problem with Unity Bank was they squandered their golden years. The management was largely northerners and they ran the Bank into the ground. It's the influence of the people behind the Bank that is keeping Unity Bank afloat.

But there are other factors here.
Some places have only one particular Bank or one bank is just unusually popular.
I think your sample space wouldn't apply in such a place.

Till now innocent depositors monies are still nowhere to be found.
I doubt your last statement us right. Except you had account with Heritage.

I had account with Heritage, after the licence withdrawal, my balance in heritage was auto.atically transferred to my Fidelity account.
Myself and two of my friends having Heritage account then had similar story.

The primary duty of a bank is lending. Opay and all these fintechs cannot give you loan exceeding 500k. They re not even Regarded as banks in the financial world

Don't say what you don't know even moniepoint gives more than 20m to merchants if they are qualified.

As naira worse reach, those fintech no fit give facility of 1m, not to talk of consortium lending

Is a lie if you are a big merchant some fintech/MFB can give more than 40m.
