Merchant Bank opens more branches

THE acting Managing Director of Merchant Bank, Ghana Limited, Dr Kwame Osei-Owusu, has said that the bank would pursue an aggressive branch roll-out nation-wide, as part of the bank’s strategy to play a key part in the retail end of the banking business.
Speaking at the opening of a new branch office at Achimota in Accra, Dr osei-Owusu said “In the coming weeks this branch will be one of a chain of branches that would proudly display the Merchant brand all over the country”.
Merchant Bank until 2006 was a corporate bank. The opening of the new branch therefore brings the branch network to 15.
Dr Osei-Owusu said seven more branches were expected to be rolled out in Osu, Tema, South Industrial Area, Abossey-Okai, Asafo Market, Adum and Korle-Bu.
“Our presence would be heavily felt in Kumasi as we roll out more customer friendly branches in Bantama, Roman Hills, Railways, Suame Magazine, Komfo Anokye, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and Subin Valley in 2009,” the Managing Director stated.
He said the bank would extend to its customers the bank’s values of customer relationship, empathy, ethics and sound business advice to all its branches.
