GCB Adjudged Best Bank In Ghana

Ghana Commercial Bank Ltd. (GCB) has again been adjudged the Best Bank in Ghana by the Banker Magazine of the UK in recognition of sound business and product innovations.

The awards programme, organised annually by the prestigious Magazine, a publication of the Financial Times Group in the UK, rewards and promotes industry-wide excellence in the
global banking community and banks are judged on their ability to deliver shareholder returns and gains in strategic advantage.

The Head of Corporate Banking Division of GCB, Mr George Fuachie, collected the award at a ceremony recently held in London.

In an earlier letter to the Bank to confirm the award, the magazine said, "We are delighted to announce that the judging panel for this year's Bank of the Year Awards has chosen Ghana Commercial Bank as the winner of our Bank of the Year in Ghana 2013. "Congratulations to you, your management, board and the employees who have made this possible."

It said, "The trust that clients have shown in you over the past months will serve your institution well in the year ahead and the recognition of being named 'Bank of the Year 2013' in your country by the world's longest running international banking title is testament to the strong management, sound business model and prudent risk approach of your institution."

 

In 2012, GCB was adjudged the Best Bank by the Magazine. The 2013 Banker award brings to three the number of awards received by the Bank between the months of September and November this year.

The Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) on September 20, 2013 adjudged GCB as the Best Bank in Ghana for 2012 while GCB emerged Best Performing (Ai 100) Company 2013 at the Africa investor (Ai) Index Series Awards held at the New York Stock Exchange on September 24 this year.

The awards programme is aimed at rewarding and promoting industry-wide excellence in the global banking community.

This award coincides with the celebration of 60 years of banking excellence in Ghana
by GCB this year.

 

Commenting on the award, the Managing Director, Mr Simon Dornoo, said it is an endorsement of the Bank's strategy that has delivered a marked change in business performance and positioned the Bank for further growth and expansion.
