SEC approves Fidelity Bank’s request to raise $500m

In a notice to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Monday, Fidelity Bank is seeking to raise $500 million at the Irish Stock Exchange for general corporate purposes, including support for its trade finance business.
The fund will further increase Fidelity Bank’s debt profile to N299.75 billion from N241.86 billion reported on March 31, 2020.
