London, UK – 9 July 2025
Premier Bank Somalia Limited has been honoured with the Outstanding African Banking Brand Excellence Award at the 15th African Business Leadership Awards (ABLA) 2025, held during the ALM Africa Summit London.
The award recognises Premier Bank’s exceptional strides in redefining modern banking in Somalia and across the Horn of Africa. In a region long underserved by formal financial institutions, the bank has emerged as a symbol of resilience, innovation, and trust. Its efforts in expanding access to financial services, particularly digital banking and SME support, have positioned it as a forward-thinking leader in Africa’s evolving financial sector.
Premier Bank’s commitment to customer-centric solutions, ethical banking practices, and financial inclusion has earned it widespread respect and brand loyalty. At a time when African banking is undergoing massive transformation, the institution continues to lead with a bold vision grounded in local realities and global standards.
The African Business Leadership Awards, hosted by African Leadership Magazine, celebrate trailblazing individuals and institutions shaping Africa’s economic future. Premier Bank’s recognition reflects the broader momentum of financial sector transformation taking root across the continent.
