Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Limited [GTBank] has been named winner of the Best Digital Bank of the Year award for the second consecutive year at the virtual 2020 Digital Innovation and Excellence Awards.
The awards, organized by the International Center for Strategic Alliances (ICSA), saw GTBank picking the coveted award in recognition of its strength and leadership in deploying cutting-edge digital solutions and electronic channels that offer customers and the general public the convenience in money related transactions at anytime and anywhere.
Divisional Head of Digital Banking and Partnerships, Leopold Armah, taking the award on behalf of the Bank, said: “receiving this award for two consecutive years is indeed a testament of our relentless effort to provide our customers and the general public with ease and convenience of banking at any time of the day and from wherever they are.”
“The global coronavirus outbreak taught us all the importance of working virtually and for us as a bank, it was a further encouragement for us to strengthen our electronic channels to ensure that all our platforms such as GTWorld, *737#, Myghpay and Guaranty Trust Automated Payment System (GAPS) offer a wide range of services that our customers can conveniently make payment; from utilities to school fees and taxes, accounts and mobile money transfers, users can expediently make payments without visiting the banking hall or a service provider’s office. That is the true meaning of modern day banking,” Mr. Armah concluded.
The Digital Innovation & Excellence Awards scheme recognizes and celebrates outstanding achievements and contributions towards the digital transformation of the Banking Financial Systems and Insurance sector. It is aimed at honoring the organizations that have consistently demonstrated exemplary performance in the digital transformation space.
GTBank is known globally for innovation and the use of technology to enable customers and non-customers carry out transactions conveniently anytime, anywhere. The bank is regarded by industry watchers as one of the best run financial institutions in the country and was recently named by KPMG as the Number One Leader in Customer Experience amongst Retail Banks in Ghana.
