Absa Bank Ghana has officially opened a new branch in Kasoa, reaffirming its commitment to expanding access to financial services. Situated on New Market Road in Kasoa, the branch provides a full range of services across Retail, Business, and Corporate Banking.

It also offers access to Absa Bank’s products and services, including its SME loan @10percent per annum offering in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Managing Director of Absa Bank Ghana, Mr Edward Nartey Botchway, emphasised the bank’s confidence in Kasoa’s growth. “We are not just here to open accounts; we are here to open doors to possibilities because your story matters to us very much at Absa,” he said.

Mr Botchway noted that the decision to re-establish a presence in Kasoa was informed by the area’s dynamic economic activity and strong entrepreneurial energy. He described the new branch as a symbol of access, connection and long-term commitment.

Also speaking at the event, Retail Banking Director Mr Charles Addo highlighted the importance of the new branch to both returning and new customers.

“We have listened, solutioned, and we are back, not just to meet expectations but to exceed them,” he said. “Our solutions, such as Absa Mobi Tap, Absa She Business and our SME Loan @10percent, were developed with communities like Kasoa in mind.”

He also announced the introduction of Absa’s agency banking in the area, which allows customers to conduct everyday transactions at selected partner shops in the market without needing to visit the main branch.

Designed with customer convenience at its core, the new Kasoa branch will serve as an anchor point for personal and SME banking support, digital services, and financial advisory, delivered by a dedicated in-branch team.
