Fidelity Bank Plc has strengthened its position among Nigeria’s top seven banks by assets after adding N1.63 trillion in just three months. The bank’s total assets rose from N8.82 trillion in December 2024 to N10.45 trillion by March 31, 2025.

Filings approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Nigerian Exchange (NGX) confirmed this growth. Fidelity Bank remains one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing and most stable banks based on key financial indicators.

Deposits Surge, Profitability Soars

Customer deposits climbed to N6.6 trillion in Q1 2025, up from N5.94 trillion in December 2024. Low-cost deposits made up N6.1 trillion, accounting for 92.2% of total customer deposits. Shareholders’ funds also grew from N897.87 billion to N933.14 billion, driven by stronger profits.

The bank’s pre-tax profit jumped by 167.8%, rising from N39.5 billion in Q1 2024 to N105.8 billion in Q1 2025. Gross earnings also surged to N315.4 billion from N192.1 billion in the same period. This increase came from a larger asset base and higher non-interest revenue from forex, trade, and service commissions.

Analysts credit Fidelity Bank’s growth to its strong balance sheet and rising profitability. These two factors continue to attract both institutional and retail investors.

A study by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) found that banks with strong balance sheets were better able to maintain credit supply during financial crises. The report supports the importance of capital strength and liquidity, especially under Basel III rules.

 

Insiders Show Confidence Through Share Purchases

Fidelity Bank shares delivered a year-to-date return of 18.86% at the start of the week. This outpaced the banking sector average of 8.24% and the NGX’s All Share Index of 6.59%.

Investor confidence grew stronger after a top director bought shares worth over N366 million. This move increased the director’s stake and reflected strategic positioning. The transaction met disclosure rules and did not occur during the market’s closed period.

Fidelity Bank was the most active stock on the NGX yesterday, driven by growing investor interest. With strong financials, rising earnings, and insider support, the bank remains a top choice in Nigeria’s financial sector.
