Imam joined FSB International Bank in 1998 before it merged with Fidelity Bank in 2005.
Over the years, he took on various leadership positions at Fidelity across commercial banking, consumer banking, SME and risk management.
The new Keystone Bank CEO rose from General Manager to a role on the Board of Directors during his long career at Fidelity.
Hassan Imam studied economics for his bachelor’s degree and obtained two master’s degrees, including an MBA. He is a certified accountant and has attended executive programs at Harvard Business School, Wharton and other top institutions.
He is a fellow of the Institute of Credit Administration, an Associate Member of Chartered Public Accountants, an alumnus of Oxford University and Pan-Atlantic University, and a Senior Member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria.
