Expo to bridge gap to home, car ownership ends in Accra
AN expo to offer a unique opportunity for aspiring homeowners and vehicle owners to explore diverse options, benefit from competitive financial products and receive tailored advice from industry experts has ended in Accra.
Known as "Wheels and Homes Expo 2025", it provided a comprehensive one-stop destination for Ghanaians aspiring to acquire their dream homes and vehicles, offering real solutions to long-standing challenges.
Organised by Fidelity Bank Ghana, it ran from June 19 to June 21 at the Ghud Park at Accra Mall.
In a release issued by the bank, it said that for many Ghanaians, owning a home or a reliable car remained a significant aspiration, yet often felt like a distant dream.
It said Ghana continues to grapple with a substantial housing deficit, estimated to be in the millions of units, with affordability remaining a primary barrier amidst rising construction costs and financing hurdles.
Similarly, it said the desire for personal mobility often clashed with the high cost of new vehicles, import duties and the complexities of securing favourable financing.
These critical aspirations, according to the release, are deeply tied to improved quality of life and economic stability, frequently confronted with a complex and fragmented market.
“Fidelity Bank's 'Wheels and Homes Expo 2025’ was designed to directly address these challenges by offering prospective customers a true one-stop-shop experience, where they can explore properties, compare vehicle models, receive on-the-spot financing pre-approvals and consult directly with real estate, auto and insurance experts.
By curating such a comprehensive marketplace, Fidelity Bank aims to demystify the often-complex process of property acquisition and auto financing, while reducing financial barriers through competitive mortgage rates, extended loan tenures and customised payment plans,” the release stated.
The Divisional Director for Retail and Business Banking at Fidelity Bank Ghana, Nana Esi Idun-Arkhurst, said for many Ghanaians, the journey to owning a home or a car was a deeply personal and often challenging one.
She said that as a bank inherently connected to the aspirations of people, the expo was a tangible commitment to making dreams a reality.
“We've brought together the very best in the auto, real estate and insurance industries, creating a unique platform where our customers can find not just financing, but a complete, integrated solution.
This goes beyond transactions; it's about being a genuine partner in their life's milestones and collectively contributing to national development by empowering individuals and families,” she stated.
The expo featured an impressive lineup of Fidelity Bank’s auto financing partners, including Svani Limited, Autodream, Grace Mobility Ghana (EV), Universal Motors Ltd. (VW), Auto Parts, Hyundai Motors, Honda Ghana, Tryton Motors Ltd / Jac Motors, MG Auto Trading Ghana Ltd/ Mac Autos and Spare Parts, Japan Motors, Silver Star Auto, Drive EV, Ijanu, Toyota Ghana, Zonda Ghana, Volkswagen, DG Motors, and EV Afriq.
On the real estate side, it showcased top developers such as Waylead Developers–Alphabet City, Green Opal Estate, Siobhan Interiors and Construction, GHS Housing, Apollonia City Estate, Black Rock Properties, Ecoblock Development, Signum Development, AMAHG Construction and Realty Ltd, Prabon Greenfields and Sandton & Grey.
The Expo’s insurance partners also play a critical role in providing the necessary protection and peace of mind for buyers. These include Prudential, Star Assurance, Sanlam Allianz, Provident Insurance and Enterprise Insurance.
