The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the bank, Samuel Bonsu Sekyere, said the bank was developing more innovative products to respond to the needs of its customers who had sustained the bank over the last four decades.
Some of the innovations include a mobile banking app that would enable customers to make withdrawal at any time in the comfort of their homes and also access loans from the same app.
Mr Sekyere said the bank had over the last 40 years built its resilience and structures such that it had become very profitable and called on the general public to come and do business with it as their money was safe.
“The Atwima Kwanwoma Rural Bank has come of age, we are 40 years today and we have been through a lot.
We have built the bank to a point that we have made profits over the successive years that we have been in business,” he said.
“And this has built the bank’s capital base to such an extent that we are resilient to withstand any shock and, therefore, the public must have confidence in us that when they deal with us, there would be no disappointment,” the CEO of the bank stated.
Mr Sekyere called on the public, particularly the unbanked, to join the Atwima Kwanwoma Bank, which “is soaring very high” and also because “we are resilient”.
The CEO said dealing with the bank came with no disappointments.
He paid glowing tributes to the founding fathers of the bank for the foresight and resilience which had seen the bank to attain successes.
Currently, Mr Sekyere said, the bank had 11 branches dotted around the region and had provided direct and indirect employment to thousands of Ghanaians.
The Atwima Kwanwoma Rural Bank had also contributed to the development of the communities it operated in, he said.
Some of the activities that would mark the 40th anniversary, which would be climaxed in December this year, include a health walk and health screening; inter schools gala for schools within the bank’s catchment area at Pakyi; donation to the Ghana Prisons, the Kumasi Children’s Home and the Garden City Special School.
The bank would also be undertaking a legacy project of lightening the streets of Pakyi No.1 and No.2 where it has its headquarters and also hold an award dinner and dance.
