Consequent upon the successful completion of AMCON’s divestment from Bank PHB, a 5-man Transitional Board was set up to oversee the repositioning of the Bank for growth and competitiveness. The transitional arrangement was successfully concluded on August 15, 2017, with the assumption of office of the substantive MD/CEO.
Keystone Bank Nigeria, Head Office
The story of Keystone Bank Limited cannot be told without talking about the now defunct Bank PHB Plc, whose commercial banking license was revoked by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) because it had not shown capacity and ability to recapitalize before the expiration of the September 30, 2011, deadline.
Consequently, on August 5, 2011, the CBN granted Keystone Bank license to operate and it took over all the assets (including subsidiaries) and liabilities of Bank PHB. At the moment, it has met and gone far beyond all capital adequacy requirements of the CBN and assumed the deposit liabilities, certain other liabilities, and assets of former Bank PHB Plc.
Keystone Bank currently has 154 branches, in addition to two international subsidiaries and one local insurance company inherited from the predecessor bank. The subsidiaries include Global Bank Liberia; Keystone Bank, Sierra Leone; and KBL Insurance.
The bank’s head office branch is located at No. 1, Keystone Bank Crescent, Off Adeyemo Alakija Street, Victoria Island, 100272, Lagos, Nigeria.
