  T he Head of Digital Transformation at Prudential Bank Ltd, Terrance Addy, has said, that the future of banking will be defined by AI-driven services and hybrid models that balance seamless digital experiences with human trust. In the near future, “Where do you bank?” will be the wrong question. The right one will be: “How do you bank?”. That’s the shift Mr. Addy says will define the next era of financial services. Speaking in an interview on the future of banking in Accra,  Addy laid out a vision where customer experience, not loyalty to institutions, becomes the core of the competition.

  By Daniel Nii Okine ADIDOME, VOLTA REGION — To those sitting in offices in Accra, or living far outside the Central Tongu District, the Atsiteto and Klamandor Boundary road may sound like just another stretch of transit on a map.

An on-site inspection of the corridor reveals a worsening structural failure that has advanced far beyond routine potholes. Driven by relentless rain and an unceasing barrage of heavily loaded cargo trucks, this bitumen surfaced gravel road, is literally washing away, forcing thousands of commuters into a deadly bottleneck. Anyone with human sympathy, and even a basic understanding of public safety, can see how serious and dangerous this situation has become. It is no longer a matter of if a catastrophic collapse will occur, but when. A Year of Official Neglect While the entire corridor is compromised, amateur reporter Alhajie Samuel Goku has highlighted the e...
