First Atlantic Bank secures regulatory approval to operate in Liberia

First Atlantic Bank PLC (FAB) has received regulatory approval to operate in Liberia, marking a major milestone in its regional expansion strategy.

The development represents a significant step in the Bank’s ambition to establish a strong footprint across West Africa, building on its Ghanaian roots.

According to the Bank, the licence reflects its strong governance framework, operational capacity, and long-term growth strategy. FAB said it is well-positioned to extend its customer-focused banking services beyond Ghana, drawing on its experience in retail, corporate, and digital banking.

The Bank noted that its entry into the Liberian market will focus on supporting trade, entrepreneurship, and financial inclusion, while offering modern banking solutions tailored to local needs.

FAB also said it will leverage its digital banking strengths in the new market. The Bank is a two-time winner of the Digital Bank of the Year award, a recognition it says highlights its innovation and customer experience capabilities.

As preparations begin for full operations, FAB says its service culture, innovation, and reliability will remain central to its offering in Liberia.

The Bank added that the expansion will help strengthen regional economic ties and reinforce its commitment to delivering accessible and modern banking services across West Africa.
