FBNBank has officially commissioned its new East Legon Branch as it continues to focus on its efforts to bring banking services closer to the doorstep of its customers and clients.

The East Legon branch of FBNBank is located on the main Lagos Avenue, opposite Radford University.

This branch is specially designed to offer retail, commercial and premium banking services to its customers and clients around East Legon and its environs.

This new branch is expected to attend to the needs of Small Medium and Enterprises (SMEs), retail customers and also that of the significant student population in that catchment area.

It also offers FBNBank’s Premium Banking which aims to deliver a great lifestyle with priority service, comfort, security, luxury and access to financial advisory services as benefits to customers.

The commissioning ceremony was attended by clients, customers, staff and key personalities.

The ceremony included a tour of the branch which offered guests the opportunity to have a look inside the branch to enable customers to experience the delight, convenience and security in the banking hall and Premium Banking lounge.

Delivering the welcome address, Victor Yaw Asante, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FBNBank said, “the setting up of this branch is in line with the Bank’s agenda to put in place the right structures to cater for individual and corporate clients, some of whom are in East Legon and its environs.

"As we continue to get closer to our customers and clients, and also continue to develop customized products and services to suit their needs, even for prospective clients, we bring alive our brand promise of putting our stakeholders first.”

Mr Asante mentioned that “FBNBank is aware of the heightened role of banks in the current economic situation and it is well placed to partner with its customers to navigate these uncertain times."

He added that, “this branch has therefore been specifically located to support the growing business and human population in the East Legon enclave all in alignment with our customer-centric agenda. Over the last few years, we have seen a number of businesses established here to meet the growing needs of the fast-growing human population.

"Quite a number of these businesses happen to be SMEs. In addition to this, this enclave accommodates several tertiary institutions with their huge youth population not to mention the numerous residents here who all need an exciting banking relationship like what FBNBank offers.”

Other branches, like Ring Road Central, Tema Community One Market Square and Kaneshie, have been refurbished and recommissioned for improved interaction and experience for all customers and clients.
