Bank Wars is sponsored by foremost Original Equipment Manufacturer, Samsung.
Earlier on Saturday, two losing semi-finalists, Fidelity Bank and Sterling Bank will trade tackles in the third place match. The game kicks off by 12pm.
Thereafter, attention will shift to the potentially heavyweight clash between the best two sides in the competition. Access Bank and Standard Chartered both have a 100 per cent record heading into the final and either side would be keen to claim the debut edition of the competition with a victory on Saturday.
To get to the final, Standard Chartered thrashed Sterling Bank 15 – 9 in the first semi-final encounter played on Saturday, May 29, 2021. The one-sided encounter saw the victorious side dominate the tie, leaving viewers who thronged the Tech Experience Centre, venue of the competition, in no doubt as to their intent ahead of the final.
