Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Ltd. has expanded its footprint in the Volta Region with the official opening of its 38th branch in Ho, the regional capital.
The newly inaugurated branch, located near the bustling Ho Central Market, marks a significant step in the bank’s nationwide growth strategy and its mission to deliver accessible, world-class banking services to communities.
The Deputy Managing Director of GTBank Ghana, Tolu Dada, described the new branch as “a doorway to new opportunities, deeper relationships, and stronger partnerships” between the bank and the people of Ho and adjoining communities.
Mr. Dada stated that the bank’s expansion into the Volta Region reflects its recognition of the area’s dynamic business environment, growing population, and promising economic prospects.
He emphasised the bank’s customer-centric approach, stating, “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. This branch reinforces our commitment to supporting the region with accessible, innovative, and world-class banking solutions.”
According to the Deputy Director, the Ho branch is equipped with modern banking infrastructure, a highly trained service team, and the full range of GTBank’s award-winning products from personal and corporate banking to advanced digital platforms that enable seamless transactions nationwide.
He further clarified the bank’s recent brand transition from GTBank to GTCO, noting that the shift reflects the group’s transformation into a financial holding company with interests in fintech, pensions, and asset management. He added that the legal name Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Ltd remains unchanged. “We have not been acquired nor merged with any entity. We are still a fully licensed commercial bank regulated by the Bank of Ghana.
Togbe Adu Bobi IV, Afetorfia of Ho Bankoe, encouraged the bank to engage directly with the local community especially traders and market women who form the backbone of commerce in the area.
He described the branch’s location near the central market as a strategic advantage and urged staff to take banking services to the people.
“Get into the market and talk to the market women. Let them come and open accounts so the bank will grow,” he said.
