Pecantrust Microfinance Bank will hold a gala to celebrate its 10th anniversary in Lagos on Saturday, July 4, 2026.
The gala, which is meant to celebrate a decade of bridging gaps and building trust, is scheduled to hold at the Grand ballroom of the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
For 10 years, Pecantrust MFB has been a veritable institution for financial resilience, empowering individuals, businesses and communities to thrive.
While reflecting on the journey in the last 10 years, Senior Manager and Spokesperson Mr. Kunle Karounwi said: “When we started, the core mandate was clear.
Too many individuals, SMEs, and growing businesses struggled to access prompt, flexible financial solutions. We set out to bridge that gap.”
That clarity of purpose shaped Pecantrust’s boldest ambition: to become Africa’s largest poverty alleviation provider.
“Over the past decade, we’ve evolved into a resilient institution committed to empowering businesses, supporting economic development, and creating lasting value,” he says. “Celebrating 10 years isn’t just about longevity. It represents a decade of delivering impact and earning the trust of thousands.”
Karounwi describes Pecantrust’s path as one of “resilience, innovation, and steady growth.” Economic cycles and regulatory shifts tested the young MFB, but “these challenges strengthened our resolve to build a sustainable institution.”
He said Pecantrust MFB has grown to become a reputable fintech brand now recognized across Nigeria’s financial services industry with consistent customer growth, reaching over 100,000 individuals in target markets, adding that the MFB has product innovation for real needs of Nigerians, which includes including Pecanplus micro health insurance, financial literacy workshops, and tailored SME loans.
According to Karounwi, Pecantrus MFB’s growth has been deliberate.
“We’ve grown from a relatively small team into a vibrant workforce of over 30 highly skilled professionals,” Karounwi notes. “All dedicated to delivering excellent customer service.”
The capital base has mirrored that expansion.
“Through prudent financial management, shareholder commitment, retained earnings, and strategic reinvestment, we’ve significantly strengthened our balance sheet. That positions us to support larger transactions while meeting regulatory expectations.”
He said all arrangements to hold a successful gala has been concluded with invitations spread across captains of industries, government and individuals ready to join Pecantrust MFB to celebrate the 10th anniversary gala.
