GCB Bank has announced that it has maintained 22 branches of defunct UT and Capital banks.<\/p>\n

This follows the completion of the full integration of the systems of the two banks.<\/p>\n

The twenty two branches were part of a total of fifty-three branches assumed by GCB Bank in August 2017.<\/p>\n

A statement on the move and copied to\u00a0Citi Business News<\/strong>\u00a0said the decision to maintain the 22 branches was \u2018based on their location and accessibility to customers.\u2019<\/p>\n

It is unclear how many branches each belonging to UT or Capital banks have been retained.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0Citi Business News<\/strong>\u00a0understands that the move brings GCB Bank\u2019s total branches across the country to 183.<\/p>\n

The Bank of Ghana in August 2017, allowed GCB Bank to assume management of UT and Capital Banks in a purchase and assumption agreement.<\/p>\n

This also came on the back of the fact that the two banks faced serious liquidity challenges at the time which affected the continuous existence and the financial industry altogether.<\/p>\n

70% staff of UT, Capital bank retained<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile GCB Bank has absorbed about seventy percent of the permanent staff of defunct UT and Capital Banks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of the integration, staff numbers have been rationalized and GCB has absorbed almost 70 percent of the permanent staff of those banks,\u201d GCB Bank said in a statement.<\/p>\n

However, GCB Bank has dispensed the services of contract staff of the two banks.<\/p>\n
