Nigerian fintech Rank has appointed Lucky Djebah as Executive Director, Investment, as it moves to expand into wealth management and investment banking through its arm, Rank Capital.
The appointment, announced on March 2, 2026, takes immediate effect. Djebah will lead Rank Capital’s expansion into wealth management and investment banking, overseeing portfolios across equities and treasury while developing strategies tailored to high-net-worth individuals and organisations.
“Lucky brings a broad wealth of experience that is essential as we transition from a high-growth fintech to a formalised financial institution. By institutionalising our processes under his leadership, we are ensuring that we deliver tangible, long-term value for every stakeholder in the Rank ecosystem,” Femi Iromini, CEO and Co-Founder of Rank, said.
Djebah joins the company with over 15 years of experience in Nigeria’s financial services sector. He was previously Managing Director at Anchoria Securities Limited and Mainstreet Bank Securities Limited and Head of Investment Banking at Alpha Morgan Capital Advisory Partners Limited. His background spans mergers and acquisitions, credit, and securities.
Rank said the move aligns with its long-term ambition to evolve into a full-fledged financial institution focused on democratising wealth for African markets.
The appointment follows Rank’s recent expansion, including the acquisitions of AjoMoney, a digital group-savings provider, and Zazzau Microfinance Bank. These acquisitions provided the regulatory and technical foundation for Rank to offer a comprehensive financial suite, moving users from basic banking into sophisticated investment products.
Djebah has expressed enthusiasm for the new role, noting it as an opportunity to reshape how Nigerians experience wealth management by combining technology with personalised service.
“There is a profound opportunity to redefine how Nigerians experience wealth management by leveraging cutting-edge technology without losing the essential in-person experience that builds trust,” he said. “I look forward to building the infrastructure that proves community-driven models, when backed by institutional rigour, can secure generational wealth for Africans.”
Rank’s ecosystem now includes Rank Microfinance Bank, which focuses on inclusive banking for the mass market; Rank Capital, which Djebah will lead to deliver high-level wealth solutions; and RankApp, a digital platform designed for community-driven saving and investing, which recently reported ₦16 billion in payouts during its pilot phase.
