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”.

The Banker Africa Awards, touted as the most prestigious event in Africa’s banking and finance sector, is designed to recognise the reforms, rapid modernisation, 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.

Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Limited, Mr. Lekan Sanusi, commenting on the double victory expressed his joy at the achievements.

He 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.”

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.”
