GCB named Best Retail Bank
GCB Bank Limited has been adjudged the Best Retail
Bank in Ghana for the year 2016 at the fourth
annual West Africa Awards in which thousands voted
to recognise the best institutions in Ghana and
the region.

The bank received a certificate and crystal trophy
in recognition of its contributions to the retail
banking business in Ghana.

On 19 September, voting opened on
www.bankerafrica.com for the fourth annual West
Africa Awards, attracting more than 11,800 votes
from across the region and the banking industry.

Commenting on the win, the Managing Director of
GCB, Mr Ernest Mawuli Agbesi, said it is not
surprising that GCB emerged the winner.

He said the management of the bank is implementing
strategies to reposition GCB as the most
people-centred bank.

“We are committed to serving members of the
public and we have invested in infrastructure,
technology and personnel as part of our
transformation programme,” he said.

Robin Amlot, CEO of CPI Financial, the publisher
of Banker Africa, said it seems the bank’s
success in managing their balance sheet through
difficult times has been reflected in
subscribers’ votes.

“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,” he added.

The annual Banker Africa Awards are continent-wide
programmes open to all banks and financial
institutions in Africa. The aim of the awards
programme, split into four individual regions
(North Africa, East Africa, West Africa and
Southern Africa), is to recognise outstanding
performance and excellence in the financial
services industry.

The Banker Africa West Africa Awards, steadily
growing since the inaugural 2013 recognitions,
reflect the core philosophy of the magazine’s
publisher, CPI Financial, aiming to identify and
promote excellence and best practice in financial
services.
