Access Bank Ghana has been named the 22nd most prestigious company in Ghana at the 19th edition of the Ghana Club 100 event hosted at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra. This placement moved Access Bank 58 positions forward from its previous ranking in 2019.
Since 1998, the Ghana Investment Promotions Centre (GIPC), through the Ghana Club 100 ranking, compiles one hundred outstanding companies in Ghana’s business landscape annually for recognition and celebration of remarkable strides in their various business sectors.
Access Bank’s ranking in the 19th edition of the prestigious awards confirms the bank’s impressive performance on all fronts over the past few years – specifically in the areas of growth, company size, profitability and impact of its CSR.
Commenting on the well-deserved award, Managing Director of Access Bank Ghana, Olumide Olatunji, attributed the feat to the bank’s disciplined approach to expansion, digital innovation, and customer satisfaction.
He said despite the current volatile environment, Access Bank continues to diversify its business model to create value for customers. “We continuously find innovative ways of bringing value to our customers, through constantly researching their needs and finding solutions to these needs while impacting their communities as well.”
Olumide commended staff, shareholders, customers and other stakeholders whose contribution culminated in the bank’s success for 2022 and recognition in the Ghana Club 100 ranking.
Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Yoofi Grant, lauded efforts of the private sector toward Ghana’s economy in a period when the world is experiencing two major waves – COVID and the Russia-Ukraine war. He said in a bid to weather the storms brought about by these global occurrences, businesses have to modify their strategies to remain productive and stable. He commended Ghanaian businesses for their resilience.
The special Guest of Honour for the event, Senior Advisor to President Akufo-Addo, Yaw Osafo Marfo, said the country will fully recover from these global shocks if the private sector continually invests in the economy. “As a catalyst to the Ghanaian economy, the private sector has done very well; and with more investments, more can be done to fight any external shocks.”
Other awards received by Access Bank Ghana in 2022 include Best Bank in Ghana and Sustainable Finance by the Global Finance Awards; Most Innovative SME Banking Brand and Best CSR by Global Brands Awards; Best Retail Bank by the Finance Derivative Magazine Awards; and Market Leader (highly regarded) in CSR, Corporate Banking, Digital Solutions and SME Banking by Euromoney Awards.
Access Bank remains committed to giving customers more than banking. The bank has over the years developed a deep understanding of their needs, delivering excellent service and empowering them to achieve more through financial inclusion.
