GCB Bank improves services to meet modern banking trends

 


GCB Bank PLC has modernised its services to bring it up to speed with innovative banking trends, particularly when it comes to technology.

It said the bank would also meet the needs of some customers who were not technologically inclined yet prefer the analogue way of banking.

The Managing Director (MD) of the bank, Kofi Adomakoh, said that to disabuse the minds of some sections of the banking public that the bank was an old bank and not in touch with modern trends to make banking more convenient.

He said that when he led his team to the bank’s head office in Accra to interact with staff and customers as part of this year’s Customer Service Week celebration.

Describing the bank as old but experienced in the sector, he said “Many people may know GCB of old but the modern GCB is very technologically driven through our banking applications and electronic banking.

Those who still prefer going through the analogue way will still be catered for, particularly because we find GCB in every region across Ghana.”

Customer Service Week

As part of the celebration, customers received souvenirs and branded chocolates from the bank.

Adomakoh explained that as a bank, it was time to dedicate itself, reconsider and review how customers were treated.

It is also a time where we take stock of what has gone on over the past years to consider how to position the bank to serve our customers better.

“Customers are the reason why we are here, we need to make sure their needs are well identified and met,” he said.

A Healthcare Assistant Nurse, Abigail Mary Akpaloo, who has been a customer of the bank since 1979, explained that she was still committed to the bank because it had branches in every part of the country.

However, she called on the bank to improve its services, especially its Automated Teller Machines (ATM).

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
