The story

Coronation Group is a diversified Nigerian financial services holding company spanning merchant banking, asset management, insurance, securities brokerage, trustees, and registrars. Founded 2015 (with securities lineage back to 2011 as Marina Securities), it operates across Nigeria, Ghana, UK, South Africa and Malta. In May 2025 the group elevated digital transformation as a strategic pillar by launching Coronation Technology, a shared-services innovation entity that provides platforms and infrastructure across the group's regulated institutions — signalling a push toward reducing customer friction and integrating wealth, insurance, banking and asset management in a single digital fabric.
