The largest privately-owned Ghanaian bank, Fidelity Bank Ghana, has added two more accolades to its growing list of international laurels. At separate events held over the weekend, Fidelity Bank was named the Best Bank in Ghana at the 2022 Euromoney Awards for Excellence as well as the Best Consumer Digital Bank in Ghana by the Global Finance Awards.
The Euromoney Awards for Excellence is a global award scheme that attracts more
than 1200 submissions from the world’s leading banks and recognizes excellence
across global, regional and individual country categories. The recognition was
based on Fidelity Bank’s strong financial performance, unparalleled digital
innovation and transformation, its contribution to the financial & capital
market as well as its financial inclusion agenda evidenced in its numerous
initiatives.
Despite significant external and domestic challenges, the Bank demonstrated
strong growth in key financial metrics across its various business segments as
it recorded a 32% increase in Profit Before Tax (PBT) for the 2021 financial
year.
Fidelity Bank also demonstrated sterling leadership in the field of digital
innovation and financial inclusion by introducing product offerings such as a
digital financial literacy platform and a digitized bancassurance solution to
promote the financial inclusion of the unbanked and under-banked segments of
the Ghanaian population.
It is against the backdrop of these successes chalked by the Bank, coupled with
other strong business credentials, that Fidelity Bank was recognized as the
Best Bank in Ghana by the Euromoney panel of Banking experts.
In a separate development, Fidelity Bank was also touted for its best in class
digital banking services and hence awarded the Best Consumer Digital Bank in
Ghana by Global Finance Awards. Global Finance’s World’s Best Digital Bank
Awards are the undisputed authority on the world’s leading digital banking
service providers.
Commenting on the awards, Atta Gyan, the Deputy Managing Director, Operations
& Support Functions of the Bank, stated: “I am highly elated that Fidelity
Bank Ghana has once again been recognized by two of the most coveted and
credible global award schemes in the banking industry. These awards are a great
acknowledgement of the Bank’s track record of excellence and its contribution
to Ghana’s economic growth. We place these awards in high regard and they will
serve as a constant reminder to us to continue creating value for all our
stakeholders and positively impact our nation.”
Mr. Gyan further applauded the Bank’s leadership, staff and customers for their
contributions to positioning Fidelity Bank as a leading financial institution
in Ghana and West Africa.
In the first half of 2022, Fidelity Bank Ghana has clinched more than five (5)
awards in top banking awards schemes. Fidelity Bank was named the Best Bank in
West Africa by the African Bankers Awards. The Bank also won five awards at the
2022 Health, Environment, Safety and Security (HESS) Awards among others. These
multiple accolades continue to underscore the Bank’s unflinching commitment to
excellence, innovation and world-class customer experience within the Banking
sector.
