Oluseyi Kumapayi

What KOKO knows now

Oluseyi Kumapayi was appointed Deputy Managing Director for Access Bank’s African subsidiaries, effective 27 October 2026, following regulatory approval. The appointment elevated him from his previous position as Executive Director for African Subsidiaries. It places a region-wide portfolio within the bank’s senior leadership and makes his remit relevant to the development of its operations across African markets.

The role centres on leadership of the subsidiary business outside the bank’s home market. That gives Kumapayi a direct place in decisions about regional execution, organisational priorities and the coordination of banking services across countries. The appointment is a current business leadership change rather than a future nomination. Its significance will be measured through the bank’s ability to sustain reliable operations and pursue growth across its African network while maintaining consistent governance.
