Daniel Asiedu, Managing Director of OmniBSIC Bank
OmniBSIC Bank Ghana Limited has been honoured with the African Banking Excellence Award for Growth, Innovation and Customer Value at the 12th International Forum on African-Caribbean Leadership (IFAL 2026) held in New York on the margins of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
The award recognises financial institutions across Africa that have demonstrated outstanding performance in driving growth, advancing innovation and delivering value to customers.
OmniBSIC’s recognition reflects its sustained transformation and growing position in Ghana’s financial sector, supported by investment in technology, customer experience and strategic partnerships.
The bank’s growth has been reflected in its recent financial performance. In 2025, OmniBSIC more than doubled its total assets to GH¢21.58 billion, while customer deposits reached GH¢16.56 billion. Profit before tax rose by 104 percent to GH¢641 million.
Speaking on the recognition, Managing Director of OmniBSIC Bank, Daniel Asiedu, said the award affirms the bank’s ambition and its Ghanaian roots.
“Receiving this award on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly is deeply meaningful to us. This is not merely a recognition of what we have achieved; it is a mandate for where we are going,” he said.
The award comes as the bank continues to implement its OmniBSIC 5.0 strategic initiative, which places technology-driven innovation, personalised service and proactive customer partnerships at the centre of its growth agenda.
The bank has expanded its reach across individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, corporates and institutions, while strengthening its digital banking capabilities.
MD Honoured With Stonecrest Citizenship
In a related development, Mr. Asiedu was conferred with Honorary Citizenship of the City of Stonecrest, Georgia, on the sidelines of IFAL 2026.

Incorporated in 2016, Stonecrest is a municipality in DeKalb County, Georgia, with a focus on economic empowerment, inclusive development and international collaboration.
“I am deeply humbled by this honour from the City of Stonecrest. To be recognised by a city with such a purposeful and proud identity is an extraordinary privilege. It deepens my personal commitment to working across borders to advance economic development,” he said.
“This recognition belongs to every customer who trusts us and every staff member who makes it happen. OmniBSIC Bank is not just another bank, and moments like this remind us exactly why,” he added.
