With this certification, the Bank demonstrates its commitment to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer data, ensuring it remains secure in an increasingly digital world.
The certification also highlights the Bank’s commitment to continuously identifying and addressing potential security risks. Equity Bank’s security management framework meets the highest international standards, providing customers with the assurance that their personal and financial information is always protected.
