Mainstreet Bank Hit Market With Positive Shareholders Fund
The Injection of N285 billion into the operations of Mainstreet Bank Limited (MBL) has put the Shareholders’ Funds of the bank into positive position.
With this, Mainstreet Bank now post capital adequacy ration that is well above regulatory requirement of ten percent and has become one of the most capitalized banks in the country.
The current capital adequacy position of MBL has positioned it to compete with similar institutions and in a good position to grow quality risk assets and support the real sector of the economy.
The fully recapitalized MBL had on Tuesday demonstrated its financial strength by repaying the N50 billion Tier-Two capital obtained by the former Afribank Nigeria Plc on August 14, 2009.
The bank is also in good stead to implement its business growth plan, facilitate better banking operations and improved service delivery across all its branches. The enhanced liquidity position of MBL will aid its business drive as it will enable it to generate more businesses such as financing big ticket transactions and consequently generate increased revenues.
The former Afribank Nigeria Plc, which Mainstreet Bank took over all its deposits and certain other liabilities and assets since August 5, 2011, was operating with negative Shareholders Funds.
