GCB Bank PLC has reported a record-breaking financial performance for the 2025 financial year, becoming the first bank in Ghana to surpass the GH¢3 billion profit mark.

The bank posted a profit before tax of GH¢3.2 billion, representing a 67.4 per cent year-on-year increase, alongside an operating income of GH¢6.3 billion—both described as industry firsts. The performance also saw the bank lead across key indicators, including deposits, loans and total assets.

Managing Director of the bank, Farihan Alhassan, said the milestone reflected sustained strategic execution and customer confidence.

“Crossing the GH¢3 billion profit threshold is a significant milestone for the Bank. It reflects years of disciplined execution, a clear strategic direction, and the continued trust of our customers,” he said.

He added that the bank would focus on sustaining growth by strengthening customer relationships, diversifying income streams and maintaining prudent risk management.

Mr Alhassan noted that the performance also highlighted strong internal collaboration and investment in talent and organisational culture.

The bank said its 2025 results underscore its contribution to Ghana’s socio-economic development, particularly through support for sectors such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), agriculture, trade and infrastructure.

According to the bank, its growth strategy remains aligned with national priorities, with a focus on delivering impact for businesses and communities while promoting inclusive and sustainable economic development.

With over 70 years of operations and a nationwide presence, GCB Bank said it would continue to build on its market knowledge to deliver innovative financial solutions.

Looking ahead, the bank says it plans to sustain its growth by enhancing digital capabilities, expanding support for businesses and deepening customer engagement.

GCB Bank is Ghana’s largest commercial bank, operating 183 branches and more than 340 ATMs across the country.
