In a statement signed by Mohammed Shehu, the Company Secretary, the bank stated that it will operate under “its new colours and logo, accompanied by a refreshed visual identity and brand philosophy.”
The new brand identity swaps out the bank’s traditional green and gold for a deeper blue, vibrant yellow, and balanced grey—each color chosen to symbolize key aspects of Jaiz’s philosophy: trust and stability, optimism and innovation, and timeless sophistication.
The colours & logo; represent Trust, Stability, Professionalism, Energy, Optimism, Visibility, Balance and Sophistication.
Speaking at a press briefing held at the bank’s corporate headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, Haruna Musa, Managing Director and CEO, described the event as “a defining milestone” in the bank’s 14-year journey that goes beyond cosmetics.
Jaiz Bank, which began operations in 2011 with a regional license, has evolved into a national player and now aspires to become a regional force in Islamic banking. “Our mission is beyond Nigeria,” Musa said, confirming that the bank has received invitations from Ghana and Sierra Leone to expand its footprint. “We want to join the ranks of top-tier banks in Africa in the next five years.”
Although the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has yet to set capitalization thresholds for international specialized banks like Jaiz, the bank has already surpassed the current minimum requirement ahead of the 2026 deadline and is now pursuing an aggressive capital expansion plan.
“In the next one year, the plan of the bank is to ensure that we raise our capital to a minimum of ₦100 billion. In the next three years, the plan is to raise it to ₦200 billion,” Musa said.
