Brand Finance, the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy, reported that banking brands contributed a substantial 50% of the overall brand value among Nigeria’s top 25 brands. Within the Nigeria 25 2024 ranking, banking brands not only emerged as the most valuable but also the strongest and fastest growing.

 

Access Bank’s brand value soared to NGN355.3 billion, making it the 31st most valuable brand in Africa according to the Brand Finance Africa 200 2024. This impressive growth is primarily driven by significant increases in interest-based income, reflecting improved revenues and robust financial performance.

Babatunde Odumeru, Managing Director of Brand Finance Nigeria, commented on the resilience of Nigeria’s leading brands: “Despite a tumultuous financial year marked by the Naira plummeting over 30% against the US dollar and soaring inflation, Nigeria’s leading brands have displayed remarkable resilience. These top-tier brands have not only withstood economic pressures, but many have continued to flourish, with 23 of Nigeria’s top 25 most valuable brands achieving brand value growth. We are also increasingly seeing top brands continuing to expand beyond their domestic borders and grow their influence across the continent.”

The values of brands in the rankings are calculated using the Royalty Relief approach, a method compliant with ISO 10668 standards. This approach estimates future revenues attributable to a brand by calculating a royalty rate that would be charged for its use, arriving at a ‘brand value’ that reflects the net economic benefit achievable by licensing the brand in the open market.
