Societe Generale Ghana has organized a conference on Global Transaction Banking (GTB) in Accra to update its clients on the key trends in the banking sector.
The conference, which also attracted members from the banking sector, was aimed at facilitating domestic and international transactions of customers, among others.
Sionle Yeo, Managing Director of Societe Generale Ghana, in an address, said the bank has over the years invested in the upgrade of its setup to meet its parent Group’s business lines and provide expertise across the world to avoid local duplication and present the best of the two worlds.
He said the bank, which is a subsidiary of the Societe Generale Group, currently offers tailored financial solutions to its diverse clientele, including governments, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), oil and gas, as well as mining sectors and multinational companies.
Mr. Yeo said the innovation, which had already started in the various branches of the bank nationwide, has been done through the initiation of transformational programmes aimed at streamlining the organization and optimizing its staffing to support the ambitious business development targets.
This, he said, was based on ensuring better operational efficiency using the best of technology and the digital world, ensuring enhanced products and services boosted by continuous innovation and leveraging on the core value of the Societe Generale Group.
Mr. Yeo gave an overview of the bank’s activities and achievement since it opened in 2013 and the massive investment committed over the years in upgrading facilities, products and services to meet the increasing demands of its clients both domestically and internationally.
He said the bank remains committed to improving its service to customers.
Fred Obosu, General Manager in-charge of Corporate Banking, said the global transaction banking service would help clients to meet complementary needs for their operations and boost efficiency.
Business experts who would provide specific expert support to clients on their transactions and the corresponding IT solutions have been stationed at the various branches, he added.
