The three-month long celebration is themed “Celebrating 10 years of Positively Impacting Lives” and features activities such as regional customer appreciation dinners, financial literacy programmes, health workshops and 10 social impact projects as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility.
At a maiden customer dinner with key customers held at the African Regent Hotel, the Chief Executive Officer, Raymond Kwakye Bismarck stated that, “the vision of Izwe Savings and Loans is to unlock potential by fueling developmental aspirations among small businesses and individuals, aimed at real community and economic development as we grow businesses and enrich lives, through innovative financial solutions and secured investments”. He thanked customers and staff of the company for their loyalty over the years, which has contributed to the success and growth of Izwe Savings and Loans.
Izwe started with a focus on products & services for employees in the government sector and is currently one of the top payroll lenders in Ghana. In 2019, the business started providing innovative financial services to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, as it recognised the significant contribution SMEs make to the GDP of the country. The company plans to introduce more innovative products and services to contribute to industry efforts and accelerate the development of SMEs in Ghana.
As part of Izwe’s 10th anniversary celebrations, further customer appreciation dinners, financial literacy and health awareness programmes will be held for customers and people in the community across the regions in Ghana where it operates. Additionally, the company will be undertaking projects aimed to provide 10 deprived communities support to rehabilitate or refurbish a chosen facility that serves the social needs of the community. “After a decade of successfully doing business in Ghana and positively impacting lives, Izwe wants to continue to positively impact 10 deprived communities across Ghana with this project” remarked the CEO.
