Gomoa Pomadze to get rural bank

Microfin Plus Ghana, a micro-finance company, has received its final banking licence to operate as a rural bank. The bank, with its headquarters at Gomoa Pomadze in the Central Region, will be formally launched on August 22.

Currently, it has two branches at Kasoa and Mankessim. The bank is fully networked and has linked its operations to the ARB Apex Bank Limited.

According to Mr Ishmael Kwesi Otchere, the manager, who is a chartered banker, the bank is poised to provide a variety of sustainable financial products to meet the demands of the micro, small and medium-scale sectors in the Central Region.

“The bank’s products will be ‘clients-centred’ to improve the life of the majority of people who have been denied access to financial services in the rural and per-urban communities in the region,” he said.

The people of Pomadze, near Winneba, will also have access to the bank’s services to enhance their businesses.

The bank has an experienced workforce that has undergone the relevant training programmes to equip them to provide quality services for its clients.
