Access Bank has opened a new branch at Haatso in Accra to serve customers, businesses and individuals living in and around Atomic, Dome, Kwabenya and other environs within the Ga East Municipal district.
The addition brings Access Bank's business office locations to forty-four and in line with its strategy to bring banking services closer to customers and the general business community. It further deepens the bank's financial inclusion agenda across the country with strategic branch expansion.
A statement issued by the bank quotes its Managing Director, Mr. Dolapo Ogundimu as saying that the new branch opening is in line with the bank’s "intelligent expansion programme across the country."
According to Mr. Ogundimu, Access Bank will be rolling out additional locations to consolidate its geographic coverage and ability to provide universal banking services to a majority of the population.
“We are positioning our Bank for accelerated growth and that is why we expect to have presence in all the 10 regions of Ghana, with upcoming branches in Bolgatanga and Wa, by end of the year,” he stated.
"The new Haatso branch will offer the Bank’s full range of business and retail banking products including flexible savings and current account options, bills payment services, e-banking, as well as domestic and international money transfer through Western Union, Moneygram, RIA and Cross border Money Transfer," the statement said.
Expanding further on why the Bank situated its new branch in the Haatso locality, Mr. Stephen Abban, Group Head for Personal Banking explained that the decision to open the Haatso branch was in response to several customer requests to the bank to extend its services closer to them.
"Again, this was consistent with our strategy of making banking services accessible to the underserved and un-banked”.
Access Bank recently attained ISO certification after meeting requirements of the Quality Management System (QMS) standards-measuring instrument ISO 9001:2008, reaffirming the bank’s commitment to ensuring consistent and continuous improvement across all its processes and services.
