Energy bank opens Accra central branch

Energy Bank Ghana limited has officially opened its Accra Central Branch, aimed at serving customers with diverse universal banking services and deepening its commitment of being in the country for the long haul.

The Accra Central Branch is located on the former White Chapel Road behind the former UTC building in Accra.

“With a significant concentration of commercial entities, vibrant business district and individuals, the Accra Central area presents unique opportunities for Energy Bank and its customers to enjoy a-win-win banking experience.

“Our customers who patronise the Accra Central Branch are promised nothing but the best of our unique array of widely diversified universal banking services,” Mr. Sam Ayininuola, MD/CEO of Energy Ghana, said at the ceremony.

He added: “The Energy in our name does not necessarily mean that we are solely going to focus on the energy sector. The ‘ENERGY’ is more of vitality, strength, vigour and dynamism that we will deploy in our dealings with customers. It is about doing old things better, doing things never done before; it is about creative innovation.

“We shall continue to pursue our organic and inorganic growth strategies to garner a sizable share of the market and the opportunities that the Ghanaian market has to offer as a fast-growing medium-income economy.

“Talking of organic growth, Takoradi is our next focus; we will be in Takoradi before the end of May. For the inorganic growth, we are open for discussions with banks that may be unable to meet the December 31, 2012 deadline stipulated by Bank of Ghana -- provided such banks share the same vision and aspirations as our Bank.

“We have widened the scope of products and services rendered. Aside from the normal deposit accounts, we have special products like the Energy Temple Account, Energy Kid Account, among others.

“We have started Western Union Collections, ECG, etc. We have entered into strategic alliances with reputable institutions to aid financial transactions across the globe. We have, as of today, one of the robust IT platforms to aid seamless transactions,” Ayininuola remarked.
