GTBank Gets Double Honors at
Euromoney Awards ….. Wins Nigeria’s Best Bank & Africa’s Best Bank for SMEs
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
