Citi Business News has gathered that GCB Bank has terminated the appointments of about 450 workers of defunct Capital and UT banks.<\/p>\n

Workers of the two banks were pulled into the work force of GCB Bank following the revocation of the license of the two banks by the Bank of Ghana(BoG).<\/p>\n

Persons familiar with the development say the workers were handed the termination letters yesterday in addition with a month’s pay.<\/p>\n

Sources at the bank say about 80 of the dismissed workers are from Capital Bank while the rest are from UT Bank.<\/p>\n

The development comes after the receiver of the takeover—\u00a0PricewaterhouseCoopers last month disengaged the services of all 1,356 staff of the two banks.<\/p>\n

GCB had earlier announced it will lay off some of the staff of the two banks after they go through an assessment as part of the integration process.<\/p>\n

The Managing Director of the GCB Bank, Mr. Ray Sowah during the takeover stated that the bank will undertake periodic assessments to determine the restructuring.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

In August 2017, the BoG gave GCB Bank Ltd the green light to acquire two local banks UT and Capital bank.<\/p>\n

A statement from the central bank and copied to\u00a0Citi Business News at the time<\/strong>\u00a0said, \u2018The Bank of Ghana has approved a Purchase and Assumption transaction with GCB Bank Ltd that transfers all deposits and selected assets of UT Bank Ltd and Capital Bank Ltd to GCB Bank Ltd\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to the central bank, it also \u2018revoked the Licences of UT Bank Ltd and Capital Bank Ltd. The action became necessary due to severe impairment of their capital\u2019.<\/p>\n
