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.
