First Bank has changed its name. The new name will be on all official documents starting now, as the change is already approved.
Nigeria’s oldest financial institution has taken a bold new step in its evolution. First Bank of Nigeria’s parent company, FBN Holdings Plc, has officially changed its name to First HoldCo Plc, marking the beginning of a new era in the bank’s history.
The rebranding was approved by shareholders in late 2024 and officially announced in February 2025. According to management, the change is part of a broader strategy to strengthen corporate governance, streamline operations, and align with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s regulatory framework for holding companies.
