In recent years, FBNBank has received recognition and acclaim for its activities in areas like technology, corporate governance and ethics, small & medium enterprises (SME) banking and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

The bank’s focus on the youth and the SME sector has led to the introduction of new branches in locations like Abossey Okai, East Legon, Lapaz, Tema Hospital Road and Atomic Junction. In addition to these channels, the bank has improved its range of money transfer and card options, guaranteeing greater accessibility and convenience offered on a foundation of security following investments in technology.

All these have been strengthened by a consistent CSR agenda driven by the desire to offer solutions to social problems and to support the disadvantaged in society and a passionate employee team willing to go the extra mile to deliver on the bank’s brand promise.
