Energy Bank’s management has lauded the Bank of Ghana’s proposed recapitalization policy which is to be operational by December 31, 2018.<\/p>\n

The BOG’s head of banking supervision, Raymond Amanfo, served notice that banks in serious financial distress could be closed by the Bank of Ghana if they fail to recapitalize.<\/p>\n

With the recapitalization rule, the BOG is likely to adjust the minimum capital of banks from Ghc60 million to Ghc400 million.<\/p>\n

Banks that might fall short of meeting this requirement are likely to liquidate or merge with stronger ones.<\/p>\n

Energy Bank’s Executive Director, Issac Shedowo, has described the BOG’s move as the wisest decision needed to sanitize the nation’s banking sector.<\/p>\n

He spoke to Citi Business News<\/strong> on the sidelines\u00a0of the Energy Bank, Tamale Branch’s customer service week celebration, dubbed, “Think service, think Energy Bank.”<\/p>\n

\"6e0c7ff6-afbb-4ce6-9c02-dffd3a66b4eb\"<\/p>\n

He advocated that weak banks should form synergies ahead of the proposed recapitalization policy’s implementation.<\/p>\n

“Energy Bank will meet the Bank of Ghana’s recapitalization ultimatum and we are ready to work with other banks that cannot meet the BOG’s directive provided they have the same strategy and focus.”<\/p>\n

“More mergers are likely in the emerging Ghanaian economy and synergies will be a win-win situation.”<\/p>\n

He also applauded Ghana commercial bank’s takeover of Capital and UT banks, saying, “The BOG did the right thing with regards the takeover of Capital and UT banks by the commercial bank.”<\/p>\n

He reassured their customers saying, “We are moving our services through technology and innovation to meet your aspirations.”<\/p>\n

The Executive Director voluntarily opened a Ghc200.00 kid account for the luckiest two-year old boy, Wuninmi Yussif, whose mother brought him there to deposit money.<\/p>\n

The Tamale Branch Manager, Daniel Akasuza, appreciated the customers’ loyalty, and urged them to remain the bank’s strong pillar.<\/p>\n

Daniel Akasuza said management will solidify its relationship with customers by providing them unparalleled services.<\/p>\n

“You customers are the pillar of the bank, and we will always provide you the best banking services to improve our customer satisfaction.”<\/p>\n

\"0d3b2e01-a538-478b-9258-4f6bf9aee801\"<\/p>\n

Some of the joyous customers gave testimonies of the bank’s quality services and unmatched customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

They praised the Executive Director, Issac Shedowo, for allaying their fears ahead of BOG’s new directive’s implementation.<\/p>\n

The Energy Bank, Tamale branch, is located within the heart of the Tamale business city near the old market.<\/p>\n

The Bank was incorporated in September 2009, as a privately owned financial institution. and it is licensed to carryout universal banking services.<\/p>\n
