GCB Bank Limited moved eight notches higher in Q2, 2021 to close at 84th on the Power 100 Banks, rising from its 2019 ranking of 93rd.

GCB is the only Ghanaian bank to have been listed and ranked among the prestigious Power 100 financial institutions across the globe.

The Power 100, which is a list of retail banks and credit unions using major social media channels to promote retail solutions, is collated by The Financial Brand; a US-based institution that monitors roughly 2,500 banks and credit unions on Facebook and Twitter as well as Instagram and YouTube.

According to The Financial Brand, the series of lists is based on a proprietary database encompassing hundreds of banks and credit unions in English speaking countries around the world. The ranking is based on Banks and Credit Unions who provide retail consumer financial services and conduct the bulk of their marketing in English on social media with the most content posted.

The Bank currently has a total following of over 600,000 and has shared over 500 products and non-product related content across our active channels including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube in the first and second quarter of 2021.

The Managing Director of the Bank, Mr Kofi Adomakoh, said Bank would continue to harness the use of Social media and other digital marketing tools to create and heighten the awareness level for our digital offerings, mitigate crises and enhance the Bank's reputation through sustainability drives.

He expressed his appreciation to the Board, customers, shareholders and staff of the Bank for supporting and working assiduously to improve on the performance of the Bank.
