Leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc’s international subsidiary, FidBank UK Limited, has announced plans to support Nigerians, including individuals and corporate organisations, in acquiring properties within the United Kingdom.

FidBank UK, which offers a wide range of financial services such as trade finance, personal and business banking, treasury services, commercial lending, and private banking, is set to provide customised financial solutions for high-net-worth individuals seeking investment opportunities in the UK real estate sector through its FidBank Buy-to-Let product.

The announcement was made during an exclusive product showcase hosted by the British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Jonny Baxter, at his residence in Lagos on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

The event attracted a select gathering of captains of industry and corporate executives.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FidBank UK Ltd, Mr. Johnson Enemadu, said:

“This event is about showcasing to the market and our customers that there is something exciting in the market and we are able to take them along in this journey, supporting their businesses by bringing capital both in the financial institutions and corporate space and also for our high networth inidividuals. It is a total experience.

“Today’s event is also taking place against the backdrop of strengthened bilateral relations between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, highlighted by the recent state visit of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the UK. This renewed engagement between both countries continues to unlock new pathways for trade, investment, and financial collaboration; and FidBank UK is pleased to play a leading role in driving this.”

In his welcome remarks, Deputy High Commissioner Jonny Baxter stated:

“The United Kingdom remains firmly committed to deepening its economic partnership with Nigeria, with a clear focus on driving inclusive, sustainable investment, trade and economic growth. London’s position as a leading global financial centre is central to this, supported by robust financial infrastructure that enables efficient trade flows and seamless cross-border transactions between our markets.

“It is therefore encouraging to see institutions such as FidBank UK advancing financial service offerings that not only expand investment opportunities in the UK, but also strengthen the financial systems supporting growing commercial ties. We welcome and support efforts that continue to enhance liquidity, facilitate trade, and drive sustainable UK-Nigeria economic connections.”

The product showcase, which was well attended, also featured art exhibitions by renowned Nigerian visual artists, Femi Morakinyo and Oswald Chukwunyeremugo, who displayed some of their latest works before guests.

Also speaking during the event, the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, represented by the Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Abayomi Oluyomi, commended the initiative, describing it as one that aligns with the administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S. Agenda.

“FidBank UK offers a private banking relationship grounded in regulatory rigour and institutional trust. This is not a catalogue of products, it is a comprehensive financial architecture built for people who live, work and invest across the Nigerian-UK corridor,” Oluyomi stated.

Operating from the heart of the City of London since 1983, FidBank UK provides a broad range of banking services to customers conducting business from and into Nigeria and other West African countries, including trade finance, personal banking, business banking, treasury services, commercial lending, and private banking.

The bank is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by both the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority, while also subscribing to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
