Access Bank opens another branch at Airport Cargo Village
Access Bank has increased its business office
locations to 47 with the unveiling of its newest
branch at the Cargo Centre Village in Airport.

The move is to bring world-class banking to
customers and cater for the specialised needs of
the business community.

A statement from Access Bank said with the new
opening, the Bank would further deepen its
financial inclusion agenda and play a facilitating
role for cargo and passenger handling payments at
one of the largest cargo hubs in West Africa.

Access Bank’s presence at the new Cargo Centre
Village has been a result of spearheading a
public-private partnership with the Ghana Airport
Cargo Centre Limited (GACC), a partnership between
Air Ghana Limited (AGL) and Ghana Airport Company
Limited (GACL), and Swissport.

Located at the ground floor, the new branch will
provide timely financial services for customers
and individuals working in and around the
mini-commercial city of Airport as well as
agencies and businesses including the Ghana
Revenue Authority (GRA), Customs Excise and
Preventive Service (CEPS), cargo airlines,
aviation handling services companies and other
related businesses.

The Cargo Centre Village branch offers the
Bank’s full range of personal and business
banking products including flexible savings and
current account options, bills payment services,
e-banking, card services as well as domestic and
international money transfer through Western
Union, Moneygram, RIA and Cross border Money
Transfer.

Mr Dolapo Ogundimu, Managing Director of Access
Bank said: “Our presence within the cargo centre
enclave demonstrates our unflinching commitment to
play a meaningful role in Ghana’s development.
We see ourselves as major contributors and are
supporting businesses to access banking services
without having to move long distances.”

He said the Bank has embarked on an intelligent
expansion across the country from 2014 and is now
a truly national bank with presence in all ten
regions in Ghana, having opened its Wa branch
office about two months ago.

“Between now and next year we intend to roll an
additional ten branches in our quest to drive our
retail banking strategy and become one of the top
tier banks in Ghana by 2018,” he said.

Since launching its banking operations in Ghana in
2009, Access Bank has increased its presence to
cater for its growing market share, especially in
retail banking, as well as to reduce the number of
unbanked and underserved segments of the market.

In continuation of its strategic goal to become
the Most Respected Bank, Access Bank continues to
invest in its operations and technology platforms
to deliver superior value to customers and other
stakeholders. These investments together with its
positive growth trajectory, has earned Access Bank
various industry awards and recognitions.

Recently, the Bank launched an Initial Public
Offering (IPO) for the sale of 26 million shares
at GH¢ 4 per share as part of plans to list on
the Ghana Stock Exchange before the end of 2016.
