Parallex Bank Limited has completed its recapitalisation, surpassing the ₦50 billion minimum CBN requirement.
As a result, the bank now joins other institutions strengthening their capital to support Nigeria’s economy.

Parallex Bank Strong Capital Achievement
Managing Director, Dr Olufemi Bakre, celebrated this accomplishment as “a major milestone” for long-term growth.
Strategic Leadership And Governance
He explained, “This strengthened capital enables Parallex Bank to expand lending and provide solutions across sectors.”
Moreover, Bakre praised the Board and stakeholders for actively guiding the recapitalisation process throughout.
Through strong corporate governance and disciplined planning, the bank successfully met regulatory requirements on time.
Future Growth And Innovation
Importantly, the CBN introduced the recapitalisation programme in 2024 to create a resilient banking sector.
Under the new rules, regional commercial banks must maintain a minimum capital base of ₦50 billion.
Already, around 30 banks have reached the new threshold by raising funds and attracting investors.
Additionally, banks restructured balance sheets to strengthen operations and comply with regulatory standards effectively.
For Parallex Bank, surpassing this benchmark demonstrates readiness to innovate, grow, and deepen financial inclusion.
