GCB Bank Limited has stated that it is expanding its operations to other countries.

The Deputy Managing Director of GCB Bank in charge of Operations, Mr Samuel Amankwah who disclosed this said: “As a forerunner, GCB is establishing and deepening correspondent banking relationship with Sierra Leone and Liberia in West Africa.”

In 2017, GCB Bank and Attijariwafa Bank Group (AWB), Morocco’s largest financial institution signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to broaden and consolidate financial transactions in Ghana, ECOWAS and beyond.

Under the partnership, GCB Bank and Attijariwafa Bank Group (AWB) will operate as correspondent banks, facilitate trade finance, deepen capital markets and jointly organise business missions designed to enhance trade and investment between Morocco and Ghana.

Speaking at a forum organized by the 2020 Investment Association in Accra, Mr. Amankwah said the new minimum capital requirement of GH¢400 million being pursued by the Central Bank would result in Ghanaians banks emerging with larger capital to undertake bigger financial deals and transactions that would support the development of the country.

He said GCB Bank had as of June this year surpassed the GH¢400 million by GH¢100 million thus bringing GCB’s minimum capital to GH¢500 million.

Touching on the takeover of Capital and UT banks by GCB Bank last year, Mr. Amankwah said the Bank after integration of those banks is more poised to deliver efficient and satisfactory services to customers and investors.

He reiterated that GCB Bank’s deposit base has broadened with networked branches of 183 in addition to 19 agencies.

He said the strengthening of regulations and corporate governance measures in the financial services sector by the Bank of Ghana would result in a stable and safer banking sector in Ghana.

He said Ghana would see a stronger financial sector with safer investor assets and deposits to the benefits of Ghanaians and the investor public.

The Managing Director of UMB Bank, Mr. John Awuah, added that Ghana now has a vibrant financial services sector.

He said measures put in place by the Regulator including a reduction in non-performing loans, robust financial reporting formulae and compliance with regulations would yield more positive results.

With the collapse and consolidation of seven banks in Ghana, he said the BOG and government have been meticulous to the extent that no depositor has lost money in the process.

Mr Awuah said about 70 percent of the Ghanaian population are either unbanked or under-banked.
