Zenith Bank is changing that story with its Diaspora Mortgage Offering — a smart, secure, and flexible way for diaspora Nigerians to invest in real estate back home recently highlighted by by wave making Group Managing Director, Adaora Umeoji at the Non-Resident Bank Verification (NRBVN) Framework Launch by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS).

With repayment periods of up to 20 years and competitive interest rates, the mortgage is structured to fit various financial situations, making it easier for more people to qualify.
