In the competitive landscape of the business world, the most successful businesses are those that are able to successfully navigate the nuances and intricacies of today’s ever-evolving digital world to meet the needs of their target market. The more these brands continue to adapt and evolve, the longer they can remain relevant and successful. So, what makes a successful business?
In its recently released 2023 Audited Financial Result, Wema Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, recorded outstanding results across the different metrics considered, achieving unprecedented financial growth and perhaps the best financial performance ever recorded.
The Audited Report also showed a 72.2% increase in Gross Earnings from 2022’s N131.08bn to N225.75bn in 2023. Now, you may be wondering how Gross Earnings differ from PBT. It’s simple. While PBT is the company’s profit before tax deductions, Gross Earnings refer to the total revenue the company made—no expenses deducted. Basically, your Gross Earnings are all you’ve earned within a given period of time.
Wema Bank has indeed become a model figure in the business world and the pioneering bank is increasingly dominating the financial services industry with its extensive range of tailored and impactful solutions that cater to the evolving needs of diverse Nigerians across the country, but HOW did Wema Bank do it? How did the bank go from a mere N5.94bn PBT in 2020 to a whopping N43.
