About
NOVA Bank is a Lagos, Nigeria-based "phygital" commercial bank — completing its transformation from a corporate merchant bank (founded 2017) into Nigeria's pioneering physical-digital hybrid retail bank in July 2024 — providing individual retail customers, small and medium enterprises, and corporate clients with an integrated banking model that combines digital-first banking convenience with physical branch service for the Nigerian market. NOVA Bank pioneered the phygital banking concept in Nigeria by building on its merchant banking foundation (serving corporate entities and high-net-worth individuals) to expand into the mass retail and SME segments that represent the largest volume of Nigeria's 200+ million population, differentiating from purely digital neobanks (Opay, PalmPay, Kuda) through maintained physical touchpoints while matching the digital experience quality those challengers offer.
