Every day heralds the possibility of a great start – filled with incredible opportunities, untapped potential and pleasant surprises. Thank you, Lord. Got an email with the above title out of the blue last week, and it surely made my day.

Glad to announce that our article ‘Marketing bank services to financially vulnerable customers: evidence from an emerging economy’ published by the International Journal of Bank Marketing, won an Outstanding Paper Award in the prestigious 2022 Emerald Literati Awards.

The paper explored how banks in Nigeria provide (market) financial services to financially vulnerable customers. Utilising a multiple case study approach, we found that Nigerian banks develop different product portfolios, adopt innovative traditional marketing schemes and apply inclusive technologies to reach and extend services to the unbanked and financially vulnerable customers in the society.
