Foremost
African financial institution; Guaranty Trust Bank plc reaffirmed its
position as a leading global brand with its recent recognition as ‘Nigeria’s Best Bank & Africa’s Best Bank for SMEs’ during the 2017 Euromoney Awards which held in London on Thursday, July 06, 2017 at the prestigious Tower of London.
Now in its 26th
year, the Euromoney Awards for Excellence covers more than 20 global
product categories, best-in-class awards and the best Banks in over 100
countries around the world by recognizing institutions that have
demonstrated leadership, innovation, and momentum in the markets they
operate. In selecting its recipients, Euromoney combines quantitative
and qualitative data to honor institutions that have brought the highest
levels of service, innovation and expertise to their customers.
According
to Mr. Clive Horwood, Euromoney Magazine’s Editor, “Nigeria went
through a difficult year, as low oil prices and capital flight continued
to hurt the country’s economy. Many banks struggled as a result of this
but GTBank remained strong, recording significant and enviable financial and non-financial performance.
According to him, the bank’s digital transformation drive has been very
successful as it has enabled the bank to deepen financial inclusion
across Africa with its array of tailor-made digital solutions that has
made banking simpler and more accessible.
Commenting on the award, Segun Agbaje, Managing Director/CEO of GTBank said: "We
are honored to win the Best Bank in Nigeria award a record eight times
and to be recognized as Africa’s Best Bank for SMEs. These awards
reflect our progress in building strong, value adding relationships with
our customers whilst positioning the bank as the financial institution
for Small and Medium Enterprises through our creation of free business
platforms that are geared towards promoting enterprise in key economic
sectors.”
We
remain committed to maximizing shareholders’ value and delivering
superior and sustainable return, guided by our founding values of hard
work, discipline and integrity.
GTBank
has consistently played a leading role in Africa’s banking industry.
The GTBank brand is regarded by industry watchers as one of the best run
financial institutions across its subsidiary countries and serves as a
role model within the financial service industry due to its bias for
world class corporate governance standards, excellent service quality
and innovation.
