OmniBSIC Bank, one of the foremost financial institutions, has announced the relocation of its Achimota branch to 29 J.A Kufuor Avenue, Achimota. This strategic move highlights the Bank’s focus on enhancing its brand visibility and delivering an improved banking experience.

The new location, conveniently positioned near Neoplan Company on the Achimota-Nsawam highway, is set to offer greater convenience and accessibility for customers, while boosting the Bank’s presence in a high-traffic commercial hub.

“Relocating our Achimota branch is part of our broader strategy to provide superior banking services in locations that matter most to our customers,” stated George Tetteh Ocansey, Divisional Head at OmniBSIC Bank.



He further added, “The new premises has enhanced parking facilities and a more spacious banking hall, which will allow us to serve our growing customer base more effectively and efficiently.”

This relocation comes at a time when Banks are increasingly investing in infrastructure and technology to offer seamless and innovative financial solutions. By situating the branch in a vibrant commercial area with a burgeoning middle-class population, OmniBSIC Bank aims to reinforce its market position and strengthen relationships with existing and potential clients.

Mrs. Hannah Dadzie, Accra North Zonal Head, emphasized the technological upgrades that accompany the move.

“Beyond the physical relocation, we have introduced advanced digital banking systems at our new branch, ensuring faster transaction processing and robust security. Our PCI DSS certification reflects our commitment to safeguarding customer data while offering superior digital services.”

She also highlighted the Bank’s ongoing efforts to support SMEs, noting, “OmniBSIC has built a strong track record of partnering with small and medium-sized enterprises through customized financing solutions, expert advisory services, and user-friendly digital banking tools. This has enabled us to support SME growth and contribute to the broader economic development.”

In recognition of its efforts, the Bank was honored with the ‘Premium SME Banking Brand of the Year’ award at the 8th Global Business Brands Awards & Summit 2024, reinforcing its leadership in SME banking.

The new branch can be easily located using the Ghana Post Digital Address System with GPS coordinates GE-373-2872. Customers are encouraged to visit other directly via the provided helplines: 0307086000 / 0302758555 / 0800100790.

OmniBSIC Bank assures customers that all current services will continue uninterrupted, with additional enhancements planned for the near future. The relocated branch will maintain its comprehensive range of personal and business banking services, ensuring a seamless and enhanced banking experience.

OmniBSIC Bank is a fully-fledged universal bank that traces its roots to a merger between the erstwhile OmniBank and Sahel Sahara Bank. The merger was spurred by the banking sector consolidation program introduced by the Bank of Ghana (BOG) in 2017 through several directives, including the increment of the minimum capital requirement almost fourfold from GH¢120 million to GH¢400 million.

Merging the two banks is one of the most successful in the financial services industry because the two banks had similarities in business modules, and size also the stakeholders (management staff, directors) were willing to embrace the merger due to the potential synergy it could create to make the “new” bank a significant player in the banking and financial services sector.

OmniBSIC has reinforced its corporate governance structures and invested in its infrastructure to align with Bank of Ghana’s (BOG’s) Corporate Governance and other regulatory standards. The Bank is dedicated to maintaining the highest level of integrity, transparency, and accountability in all operations, thereby creating a reliable framework for customers to carry out their banking activities with convenience and confidence.

Headquartered in Accra’s Airport City, OmniBSIC Bank serves its customers through a network of 40 branches across Ghana. The Bank also offers a comprehensive suite of products, services, and digital solutions tailored to corporate, SME, and individual needs while actively supporting the communities within which it operates. To deliver exceptional banking experiences daily, OmniBSIC prioritizes investment in technology and employee development. This commitment is reflected in its rigorous staff selection process and comprehensive capacity-building programs.

OmniBSIC Bank has undergone a comprehensive transformation, showing improvements across all areas—including financial performance—while achieving numerous successes and receiving multiple recognitions including, The Most Customer-Centric Bank (CIMG, 2022), The Fastest-Growing Corporate Bank in Ghana (Global Banking and Finance Awards, 2023),

The Best Bank in Ghana (Ghana Business Awards, 2023), Bank of the year (Ghana Business Standard Awards, 2024), SME Bank of the Year (Ghana Credit Excellence Awards, 2024), Best Ghanaian Owned Emerging Band (Made-In –Ghana Awards, 2024) and Best Corporate Bank, Ghana ( Global Banking and Finance Awards, 2024) and currently ranked 29th best company by GIPC’s Ghana Club 100.
