LAGOS, Nigeria — Fidelity Bank Plc’s international subsidiary, FidBank UK Limited, has announced plans to assist Nigerians—both individuals and businesses—in purchasing properties in the United Kingdom. The announcement was made at a product showcase event hosted by the British Deputy High Commissioner, Jonny Baxter, at his residence on May 26, 2026.
FidBank UK offers a range of financial services including trade finance, personal and business banking, treasury services, commercial lending, and private banking. The institution aims to provide customized financial solutions for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) interested in the UK real estate market through its FidBank Buy-to-Let product.
During the event, Mr. Johnson Enemadu, Managing Director and CEO of FidBank UK Ltd, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting clients in their investment journeys. “This event is about showcasing exciting opportunities in the market and bringing capital to our customers,” he said. “Today’s gathering also reflects the strengthened bilateral relations between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, further unlocking opportunities in trade and investment.”
Deputy High Commissioner Baxter highlighted the UK’s commitment to enhancing its economic partnership with Nigeria, aiming for inclusive and sustainable growth. He remarked that London’s status as a major global financial center supports efficient trade and cross-border transactions. “We welcome institutions like FidBank UK that enhance financial service offerings and bolster Nigeria-UK economic connections,” Baxter said.
The event also featured exhibitions from prominent Nigerian artists, Femi Morakinyo and Oswald Chukwunyeremugo, whose work captivated attendees. Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, represented by Finance Commissioner Abayomi Oluyomi, praised the initiative for aligning with the state’s economic agenda.
“FidBank UK offers a robust private banking experience rooted in regulatory rigor and institutional trust,” Oluyomi stated. “It’s not just a product catalog; it’s a comprehensive financial architecture designed for those operating in the Nigerian-UK corridor.”
