Fidelity Bank wins two more international awards

 


Fidelity Bank Ghana has added two more accolades to its growing list of international laurels. At separate events held over the weekend, Fidelity Bank was named the Best Bank in Ghana at the 2022 Euromoney Awards for Excellence as well as the Best Consumer Digital Bank in Ghana by the Global Finance Awards.

A release issued in Accra on August 19, 2022 said: “The Euromoney Awards for Excellence is a global award scheme that attracts more than 1200 submissions from the world’s leading banks and recognises excellence across global, regional and individual country categories. The recognition was based on Fidelity Bank’s strong financial performance, unparalleled digital innovation and transformation, its contribution to the financial and capital market as well as its financial inclusion agenda evidenced in its numerous initiatives.”

Then release said in spite of the significant external and domestic challenges, the bank demonstrated strong growth in key financial metrics across its various business segments as it recorded a 32 per cent increase in Profit Before Tax (PBT) for the 2021 financial year.

Fidelity Bank also demonstrated sterling leadership in the field of digital innovation and financial inclusion by introducing product offerings such as a digital financial literacy platform and a digitised bancassurance solution to promote the financial inclusion of the unbanked and under-banked segments of the Ghanaian population.

It is against the backdrop of these successes chalked up by the bank, coupled with other strong business credentials, that Fidelity Bank was recognised as the Best Bank in Ghana by the Euromoney panel of banking experts.”

Digital Bank award

In a separate development, Fidelity Bank was also touted for being the best in class digital banking services and awarded the Best Consumer Digital Bank in Ghana by Global Finance Awards.

Global Finance’s World’s Best Digital Bank Awards are the undisputed authority on the world’s leading digital banking service providers.
