The results position Advans Ghana among the industry’s top performers, driven by solid governance, disciplined execution, and rising client confidence.
Over the year, the institution disbursed more than GH¢900 million in new loans to support businesses nationwide. Key metrics showed strong momentum: the gross loan portfolio grew from GH¢390 million to GH¢580 million, while client deposits rose 56% to GH¢430 million, signaling deeper trust and a stronger savings culture.
The active client base reached 149,000, cementing Advans Ghana’s role as a leading MSME financier.
Managing Director, Guillaume Valence, highlighted the human impact behind the figures saying, “Behind these results are real stories: clients who trust us to grow their businesses and committed teams who deliver every day. Purpose, vision, and disciplined execution are what drive our growth.”
Women remain central to Advans Ghana’s strategy. Female clients increased to 86,000. Through the AdvansHER programme, loans to women grew 52% and average loan size rose 17%, reflecting improved access and expansion of women-led businesses.
The institution also trained over 30,000 women farmers and channeled GH¢10.2 million into rice and shea value chains.
Digital transformation accelerated, with digital transactions up 48%. Growth was fueled by USSD services and the MyAdvans GH app, expanding access for clients beyond traditional banking infrastructure.
Advans Ghana also strengthened responsible banking credentials. It earned Silver Level Client Protection Certification from MFR for transparent lending and achieved ISO 27001 certification for information security, reinforcing data protection and operational integrity.
For 2026, Advans Ghana’s “Raising the Standard” roadmap will scale operations, deepen client focus, invest in staff, and boost efficiency to consolidate gains and lift sector benchmarks.
