Crowned at the GCCI Annual Business Award Ceremony

2009-02-09

The history of 'the first' associated with GTBank in The Gambian banking industry was repeated again in the early morning of Saturday 7th February 2009 at the prestigious Kairaba Beach Hotel, in Senegambia. At a well attended Annual Business Award dinner of The Gambian Chamber of Commerce & Industry, an umbrella body of the private sector institutions in The Gambia, GTBank Gambia was named as 'The Bank of The Year in The Gambia' for the year 2008.

In the light of the growing number of operators in The Gambian banking industry, this is the first time in the history of GCCI annual awards, that the banks would be grouped together to determine which bank is in fact the most outstanding. The selection of the bank of the year is based on the voting of the members of GCCI, as well as, an analysis of Key Business Performance Indicators (KBPIs) of each bank.

In what could be likened to what is regarded as deserving, GTBank Gambia came outstandingly top in both the members' voting and analysis of key performance indicators. The bank which began operations in 2002 is today a proud banker to practically all the key corporate names in the manufacturing, tourism, service, energy and power, distributive trade sectors of The Gambian economy and has rendered significant support to the growth of its customers while ensuring outstanding and consistently improving service delivery standards. Infact, before this maiden edition of The Bank of the year, GTBank has been nominated twice as 'service provider of the year'.

While receiving the award at well organized GCCI ceremony, a well delighted CEO and Managing Director of GTBank, Mr Lekan Sanusi said 'this award is dedicated to three set of people. The first are the founding fathers of GTBank group, Messrs Fola Adeola and Tayo Aderinokun, the duo that championed an institution that is today a 'pride of Africa' for its outstanding achievements internationally. The second are the set of Gambian staff of the bank, who everyday, are preoccupied with finding answers on how to bring more convenience and quality banking services to the doorstep of our most valued customers”. The third and the final group are the customers of the bank who have given the bank and its staff the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities in service delivery'
