FBNBank over the past years, has engaged in a health walk with active participation across all staff groups. This year’s walk covered a distance of 8 kilometres with the over 200 participants starting from the FBNBank Head Office through the Liberation Road to 37 Roundabout. The team turned to the other side of the Liberation Road and continued from there to the Ghana Standards Authority traffic light near Shiashie. Thereafter, the participants retraced their steps using the same route back to the FBNBank Head Office. They were supported by a brass band which spurred them on with exciting tunes across genres.

Speaking at the end of the Walk, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FBNBank Ghana, Victor Yaw Asante, said, “embarking on this health walk together as a united FBNBank family is a powerful testament to our commitment to well-being and also how prepared we are to offer the best service to customers and clients.
