Mr Adamah stated that several communities and opinion leaders have been calling on the management to establish new branches in their districts and communities.He explained that GCB has made huge investment in digitilising its processes, products and services making banking easily accessible to customers.
He expressed his appreciation to the Management of the Bank, former and present MCEs of the East Gonja Assembly for collaborating, facilitating and providing the space for the new branch premises.
Commenting on the relocation, the Paramount Chief of Kpembe Traditional Area, Bangbange Ndefulso IV, expressed his sincere gratitude to the Bank for its contribution towards improving the socio-economic fabric of Salaga and its surrounding towns.
