The citation further mentioned that “Notably your CSR contributions in the areas of health, education and other strategic areas have changed and transformed lives, and also endeared many Ghanaians to what you stand for…You have for the second touched the soft spot of our evaluators with your exploits and they duly confer on Stanbic Bank the CIMG Bank of the Year, 2019”.
