GCB Bank Hails Asantehene on 74th Birthday and 25th Anniversary

GCB Bank has hailed the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, on his 74th birthday and the 25th anniversary of his reign as the King of the Asante Kingdom, pledging the bank’s continued support for his impactful leadership.

“His Majesty’s profound contribution and impact on Ghana, along with his unwavering support for the bank’s growth is deeply appreciated. His visionary leadership, which has fostered unity, development and cultural preservation, has permeated every part of the country, much like the extensive reach of GCB Bank,” the bank said in a statement.

The statement highlighted that over the past 25 years of its 70-year history, GCB Bank has thrived in the peaceful and stable economic and social environment fostered by the Asantehene in both the Ashanti Region and Ghana as a whole. The bank noted several notable achievements during this period, including consistently winning Gold and Platinum awards at the annual Ashanti Financial Services Excellence Awards since 2002.

“These accomplishments have immensely contributed to the bank’s overall growth, providing opportunities to support businesses, organizations, and giving back to communities in the Ashanti Region,” the statement added.

In celebration of the Asantehene’s anniversary, GCB Bank supported the release of a commemorative stamp by Ghana Post.

Pedigree

GCB Bank boasts the largest network in the Ashanti Region with 23 branches, offering significant investment opportunities and employment for about 280 staff. The bank’s extensive presence, especially in remote and underserved areas such as Agona, Nkawie, and Dunkwa-on-Offin, has played a crucial role in reducing the unbanked population and enhancing financial inclusion.

“With branches spread across the region, the bank has assisted numerous businesses in scaling up and expanding through its diverse products and services. Over the years, key businesses and organizations in education, hospitality, food processing, construction, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals have received support from GCB Bank to meet the growing demand. This reflects the bank’s commitment to providing unrivalled financial solutions for the socio-economic development of the nation,” the bank’s statement said.

Corporate Social Responsibility

GCB Bank’s corporate social responsibility initiatives span education, environment, social, economic, and governance sectors to elevate the lives of individuals and communities in the Ashanti Region. Notable among these is the support for the establishment and operation of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Career Centre, which aims to bridge the skills gap between academia and industry, providing career advancement opportunities. To date, the centre has served over 2,000 students and alumni, where the Asantehene serves as the Chancellor.

Additionally, GCB Bank recently funded the construction of an international standard Astro turf football pitch, benefiting over 100,000 residents of Nhyiaeso and surrounding communities, and has been a steadfast supporter of the Royal Golf Club in Kumasi for over three years.
