• Who we are

    We are on a journey to become Africa’s premier investment bank
     

We are a Nigeria-based investment bank that provides innovative, long-term financial solutions to corporations, state governments and other financial services organisations.

We offer services and products in corporate banking, investment banking, wealth management, asset and fund management, global markets, securities trading and trust services.

Our history

Our bank was initially founded as Associated Discount House Limited (“ADHL”) in 1993 by a consortium of reputable financial institutions. ADHL, which was licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria to provide liquidity for sovereign debt notes and money market instruments, became a leading financial services institution, thriving throughout the tough period of the Nigerian economy. In 2011, a new leadership emerged at ADHL, signaling a new beginning for our bank, posting consistent growth across all metrics and turning the industry challenges to opportunities. In 2013, our transition to a merchant bank commenced which culminated in obtaining a merchant banking license and an FX dealing license in 2015. With both licenses, Coronation Merchant Bank assumes the heritage assets, strong credit rating of ADHL and brings alive a new force in the Nigerian banking industry.

We have a clear strategy based on our competitive advantage: exceptional local knowledge combined with world-class financial solutions.
