GTBank Ghana grabs two top awards
Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Limited’s strength
in “Innovation” and the use of technology to
making banking simple and more convenient for
customers wherever they may be in the world, has
been recognized in an unprecedented double award
at the “Banker Africa - West Africa Awards -
2016”.

After a rigorous voting exercise involving more
than 11,800 votes across the West African region
and banking industry, GTBank Ghana has been named
as the “Most Innovative Bank in West Africa”
in recognition of the various products and
services frequently introduced onto the market to
offer customers an array of services to employ in
their day-to-day businesses.

In addition, the bank’s superiority in the area
of electronic banking in Ghana was further
reinforced when the Bank was awarded the “Best
Online Platform - Ghana”. This went to applaud
GTBank’s reliable online banking services, which
allow customers to receive payments online and to
carry out transactions from the comfort of their
homes, offices or wherever they find themselves
without having to visit the banking halls.

Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana)
Limited, Mr. Lekan Sanusi, commenting on the
double victory said, “At GTBank, we always work
tirelessly to ensure we offer our customers and
the general public the best of services especially
in a competitive environment and in so doing, we
always consider customer mobility and convenience.
These are issues that technology has the power to
drive. The awards are dedicated to our committed
staff and customers.”

The Banker Africa Awards, touted as the most
prestigious event in Africa’s banking and
finance sector, is designed to recognize the
reforms, rapid modernization, consolidation,
integration and expansion of Africa’s banking
and finance sector. The awards aim to reward
achievements, commend best practices and celebrate
excellence in African banking.

Chief Executive Officer of CPI Financial, the
publisher of Banker Africa, Mr. Robin Amlôt said,
“In four short years, our Awards programmes have
become established as a valued and respected
benchmark. We are particularly pleased to see
growth in the voting numbers, showing engagement
and interest from the industry and offering a true
reflection of the views of bankers and financiers
in the region.”

Guaranty Trust Bank, in May this year, was
adjudged the “Technology Advanced Bank of the
Year” for the “third” consecutive time at
the Ghana Information Technology and Telecom
Awards 2016 in Accra, beating off competition from
Zenith Bank, Stanbic Bank, Fidelity Bank and
Ecobank.

Also for the second time running, GTBank was
adjudged “E-Banking Service of the Year 2016”
in recognition of the bank’s convenient and
reliable electronic banking solutions during the
same ceremony. Nominees for this award included
uniBank, GCB Bank, Stanbic Bank and Barclays
Bank.

Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Limited has, since its
inception, deployed a robust IT platform to
deliver a plethora of reliable and efficient
electronic banking solutions for its customers and
in some cases non-customers alike.

Amongst its recent deployments is the Bank *737#
service, which is set to make banking easily
accessible and simple for every Ghanaian. By
dialing the short code *737#, existing customers
of the bank can purchase airtime for themselves
and others, check account balances, transfer funds
between their accounts and PIN change. They can
also pay utility bills and make enquiries such as
branch and ATM location.
