Retrust MFB sets new standard with ₦8.9 billion organic growth in under six months
Founded with a mission to offer accessible and inclusive banking, Retrust MFB is proving that financial growth doesn't have to come at the expense of trust or grassroots connection. Its rise comes at a time when many new entrants in the microfinance space are struggling to balance innovation with regulatory compliance and long-term impact.
Alhaji Tajudeen Olawale Olatinwo, Chairman of the Board and a retired Senior Bank Examiner with the Central Bank of Nigeria, attributed the impressive growth to a foundation of clarity and shared purpose. 'We've stayed true to our core: trust, discipline, and impact. This is leadership, strategy, and a strong sense of duty to the people we serve,' he noted.
Retrust's expanding influence is anchored on real financial tools designed to meet real needs. From NORA Target Savings and Nano Loans, to EduAssure educational financing and POS/Agency Banking services, the bank has crafted a suite of solutions tailored to underserved communities and emerging entrepreneurs. The rollout of its mobile banking app and debit card further reinforces its commitment to digital-first convenience.
Dr. Oluwatosin Olatujoye, a member of the Board, emphasized that Retrust's success lies in its grassroots approach.'We're showing that inclusion isn't a buzzword, it's a strategy. Every naira of this ₦8.9 billion reflects trust earned, not capital raised.'
At the operational helm, Managing Director Babatunde Oladimeji echoed the sentiment. 'This is not just a financial achievement, it's a validation of our model. We've grown from within by solving actual problems. This is what real banking should feel like.'
As the industry turns its attention toward financial inclusion and sustainability, Retrust MFB's trajectory signals a powerful shift. It is building not only a robust institution, but also a movement, one that proves banking can be both profitable and principled.
With its values intact, its systems growing, and its impact expanding, Retrust Microfinance Bank is poised to become a trusted name in inclusive banking across Nigeria and beyond.

Resolutions from the Extraordinary General Meeting in Sinch AB (publ)
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinch held an extraordinary general meeting on Thursday, 14 August 2025 in Stockholm. The meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to implement a long term incentive program for up to 625 current and future senior executives, key personnel and other employees within the Sinch group ("LTI 2025"). LTI 2025 consists of up to 12,800,000 employee stock options divided into two series: Series 1 for employees outside of Sweden and Series 2 for employees in Sweden. The employee stock options are allotted to the participants free of charge and each employee stock option entitles the holder to acquire one share in Sinch at a price corresponding to the market value of the Sinch share at grant date of the option. The employee stock options are subject to both performance and time-based vesting conditions. The board of directors' proposal on authorization for the board of directors to resolve on the acquisition of own shares and transfers of acquired own shares to participants in LTI 2025 did not achieve the required majority at the meeting and was therefore not adopted. The meeting instead resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' secondary proposal, that the financial exposure relating to LTI 2025 may be hedged by Sinch entering into a share swap agreement with a third party on market terms, whereby the third party may in its own name acquire and transfer shares in Sinch to employees who participate in LTI 2025.
