February 5, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fidelity Bank, a leading financial institution, has announced the imminent launch of its dedicated physical facility for Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SME) and entrepreneurs in the creative sector.<\/p>\n

Known as the Fidelity SME Hub, the multipurpose facility features training halls, meeting rooms, networking spaces, podcast rooms as well as music, photography and content production studios.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor nearly four decades, Fidelity Bank has been at the forefront of supporting small businesses in achieving their potential and driving the nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

“During this time, we have recognized that SMEs require more than just financial assistance. This realization has led to the implementation of various non-financial initiatives tailored to support this sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fidelity SME Hub is our latest non-financial solution for SME growth. The facility is designed to foster innovation, collaboration, and capacity-building-vital elements necessary for strengthening Nigeria\u2019s SME ecosystem and driving economic growth,\u201d commented Dr Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer, Fidelity Bank Plc in a chat with journalists recently.<\/p>\n

Located at the heart of Lagos, the Fidelity SME Hub will provide entrepreneurs with networking and stakeholder engagement initiatives as well as access to industry experts and mentors for hands-on guidance and business advice.<\/p>\n

A key feature of the facility is the Creativerse, a well-equipped space for entrepreneurs in the creative industry.<\/p>\n

The bank has also announced the launch of dedicated courses to be hosted at the SME Hub in areas such as Financial Management and Investment Readiness, Digital Transformation and Technology Adoption, Marketing, Branding, and Business Growth Strategies. Furthermore, a fully-fledged creative academy will be established to cover courses on Music Production, the Business of Music, Website Design and Development, Mobile Videography, Disc Jockey and Photography.<\/p>\n

Explaining further, Onyeali-Ikpe said, \u201cBeyond empowering small businesses, the Fidelity SME Hub will also serve to bolster our non-oil exports drive as we empower SMEs to increase their contribution to Nigeria\u2019s non-oil GDP thus supporting government\u2019s economic diversification drive.<\/p>\n

“Through our investment in Creativerse in particular, we anticipate that content creators will unlock new revenue streams in entertainment, digital media, and arts, an industry already contributing 2.3% to GDP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ranked among the best banks in Nigeria, Fidelity Bank is a full-fledged customer commercial bank serving over 8.5 million customers through its 255 business offices in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, as well as through digital banking channels.<\/p>\n

The bank has garnered multiple local and international awards, including the Export Finance Bank of the Year at the 2023 BusinessDay Banks and Other Financial Institutions (BAFI) Awards, Best Payment Solution Provider Nigeria 2023, and Best SME Bank Nigeria 2022 by the Global Banking and Finance Awards.<\/p>\n
