He expressed delight on behalf of the Board of Directors and management in receiving the awards. He stressed that receiving recognitions in areas such as Innovation and Responsiveness – which are at the heart of the Institution's relationship with customers – for three consecutive years is a testament to the Board of Directors' and management's strategic effectiveness as well as their directorial leadership.
Additionally, he expressed his gratitude to the Bank's throngs of customers for their support, which allowed the Bank the opportunity to demonstrate to the market what it is capable of providing. The BAFI Awards' eighth edition, held in 2020, recognized Page as the Consumer Credit Brand of the Year as well as the Most Innovative Consumer Lender of the Year, among other honors.
