In addressing financial inclusion enthusiasts from different industries, the Managing Director of GCB Bank, Ransford Sowah, shared and explained GCB Bank’s latest contribution to financial inclusion.

“Banking and telecommunications industry related businesses have been increasing dramatically in recent years. Our G-money is a model designed to expand our business offerings, future viability, making banking services convenient for customers and to meet the demand of the market. 

"GCB has built the capacity and the financial prowess to seize the opportunities offered by the business environment to expand our Value Added Networks (VAN) services to areas unbanked,” he explained.
