The board and management of GCB Bank Ghana, in a demonstration of goodwill and corporate social responsibility (CSR), sent a high-powered delegation to pay a courtesy visit to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, ahead of Eid-Ul-Adha.
Leading the delegation, Executive Head of Retail Banking at GCB Bank, Sina Kamagate, highlighted the importance of the Muslim community as a key clientele of the bank.
He announced the upcoming introduction of a special ‘Hajj Account’ designed to support Muslims in saving toward their pilgrimage to Mecca.
“Very soon, we will be launching an account called the ‘Hajj Account.’ This product is specifically tailored to assist Muslims who aspire to embark on their religious journey to the Holy Land of Mecca.
“The account will enable individuals to save gradually, even with small amounts, to achieve their spiritual goals,” Mr. Kamagate stated.
The visit was aimed at appreciating the Chief Imam’s benevolent initiatives, which have positively impacted many lives, including some staff and customers of GCB Bank.
As part of the visit, GCB Bank presented a huge bull and an undisclosed cash amount to support the Chief Imam’s charitable activities. The delegation also sought his continued prayers for the growth and success of the bank.
In his remarks, the National Chief Imam expressed gratitude for the gesture and offered prayers for Allah’s blessings, protection and prosperity for the staff and management of GCB Bank.
He also took the opportunity to pray for national peace, particularly in Bawku and its environs, urging unity and harmony among all Ghanaians.
Mr. Damage emphasised that the initiative underscores GCB Bank’s commitment to financial inclusion and its dedication to serving the diverse needs of its customers.
