GHL Bank
GHL Bank has consolidated its position as the country’s leading mortgage financing bank at the 11th edition of the Ghana Property Awards.
It beat other nominees in the highly contested category to emerge as ‘Best Mortgage Bank of the Year.’
The prestigious event was held on 24th November at the State House, Banquet Hall in Accra and saw over 20 awards conferred on trailblazing companies in the real estate industry.
The ceremony was a showcase of innovation, professionalism and pro-activeness in Ghana’s outstanding companies, individuals and team players who have made great contribution in Ghana’s real estate market.
GHL Bank remains the largest home loan provider in Ghana with over 50% market share of the mortgage industry.
Since transitioning into a full universal bank in December 2017, it has opened branches in Accra, Tema, Kumasi and Takoradi.
Kojo Addo-Kufuor, Executive Director of GHL Bank, expressed the bank’s gratitude to all its loyal customers for their continued support throughout the years, saying, “We couldn’t have gotten this far without the trust and continual patronage of our customers. We dedicate this award to them and our hardworking staff.”
He added that although the bank now offers a range of banking services like retail, corporate and business solutions, it would continue to do what it does best which is helping first time home-buyers acquire accommodation by providing innovative and competitive mortgage products.
The bank has over 10 mortgage products, including first-time purchase mortgage, home construction mortgage, home completion mortgage, home construction mortgage, equity release mortgage, land purchase mortgage and refinance mortgage, just to name a few.
Earlier this year, it launched its flagship mortgage product Save-To-Own for non-salaried workers to obtain mortgage loans.
The bank also sponsored The GHL Bank Best Architecture Design Firm Award which was won by Altiers Ghana Limited.
The category was chosen by GHL Bank to promote and consider companies and firms who are ahead of the game in bespoke architectural, interior, exterior and outdoor designs.
Exceeding the expectations of clients was also a key factor in deciding the winner of the category.
Commenting on the relationship between the mortgage bank and Ghana Property Awards, Irene Agyenkwa, Director, Ghana Property Awards said: “The Ghana Property Awards is proud to have GHL Bank as a reliable partner. Since its inception as Ghana Home Loans, the bank has been a strong supporter of first-time home owners and home infrastructure developers.”
Other award categories included Developers Awards, Design Awards, Development in Residential and Commercial Awards, Property Listing Awards, Mortgage & Financing and Special Recognitions.
The theme for this year’s event was, “Developing the economy through infrastructure.”
