Access Bank Plc, one of the largest banks by assets has successfully raised a fresh $300 million through an Eurobond from the international bond market.

The lender recently accessed the international market to raise the bond, with a maturity date of October 2021 and at a coupon of 10.5 per cent.
This makes Access Bank the first Nigerian bank to raise a bond from the international market this year despite the country’s macroeconomic headwinds.

The bank’s management, in a statement recently said that the successful outcome of the bond demonstrated the strength, resilience and international endorsement of Access Bank Plc.

Access Bank currently has two series of Eurobonds in issue – the $350 million maturing in July 2017, at a coupon of 7.25 per cent, and the $400 million (9.25%) maturing in June 2021 – as part of a US$1 billion global medium-term note programme.

Commenting on the development, Herbert Wigwe, Group Managing Director/CEO of Access Bank, said: “The bond will be for working capital, for lending to investment-grade names, including Nigerian companies seeking to expand their exports.”

He emphasised that the process signified a significant moment in the bank’s journey to entrench itself as one of Nigeria’s top three banks by 2017.

“It also ensures that we keep our promise of speed, service and security to our customers as we target Africa’s fastest-growing industrial sectors,” he added.

Access Bank is now one of the top three banks in Nigeria and ranked among the top 500 global banks, according to a 2015 report by The Banker magazine and is aiming to be Africa’s top bank.

Access Bank currently serves over 7 million individual and corporate account holders, through 370 branches and with more than 1,500 ATMs in major centres across Nigeria, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, UK, and representative offices in Asia.
