Stanbic holds banking fair

By Kofi Ahovi
Stanbic Bank Ghana has held its first ever banking fair, Stanbic Fest ’09, to showcase its products and services to the general public.

The three-day fair, which took place March 19-21, this year, was on the theme: “Money Matters.”

The event saw a panoramic presentation of the bank’s products and services, since some customers may not have had full insight or knowledge of all products, services or activities that the bank undertakes.

The managing director of Stanbic, Alhassan Andani, speaking at the opening ceremony, pointed out that the fair was a means of ensuring the growth of the bank’s brand in Ghana and across Africa.

He added that the event was also to solicit feedback from the bank’s customers which is a vital contributory factor to Stanbic’s growth.

The Stanbic boss reiterated the need to quickly rope more people into the formal sector to facilitate growth in the economy.

The Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Seth Tekper, stressed the need to strengthen public private partnership for the common goal.

He also advised players in the private sector, which is considered the engine of growth, to always strive to meet standards, as well as abide by the rules of the game to prevent any form of crisis in the country.

Products showcased at the fair include transactional, savings and investment products and electronic banking services

The fair was not only to showcase Stanbic’s products and services. Seminars on the effect of the global financial crisis on Ghana and other relevant topics and job fair were held along side the event.

The bank took opportunity of the fair to introduce new products, including the Business online (nBol), which is a one stop unit that offers a single online platform with a single point of entry for clients to perform multiple tasks across Africa.

Stanbic Fest ’09 brought together people from all walks of life to witness, participate and learn new ways of doing things in the baking sector.

Guests at the fair had the opportunity to conduct banking business, opened accounts, held discussions on vehicle and assets financing and received corporate banking solutions.
