The Managing Director of FBNBank, Victor Yaw Asante has commended staff of the Bank for the great display of community spirit for raising funds to support the construction of the Berekuso Community Hospital by the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central. He indicated that the Bank’s brand promise of putting stakeholders first is not limited to only business activities.

 

The staff of the Bank joined members of the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central on a 7-kilometre walk at Legon to raise funds for the Berekuso Community Hospital project after which they made a donation of over GH¢12,000 towards the construction of the Hospital. Phase one of the project expected to cost GHS250,000.

 

Commenting, Mr. Asante said, “Our staff continue to exhibit the true meaning of what we mean by ‘putting you first.’ In several ways, our people have over the years displayed passion and enthusiasm by going the extra mile to deliver value to our stakeholders on the strength of our brand promise. The FBNBank brand enjoins us to deliver the gold standard of value and excellence to our stakeholders ensuring that we commit fully to whatever we do for them and our staff have been at the forefront of achieving this. Being a Bank, most persons would assume that this applies only to our customers but that is not so. Our commitment is to our stakeholders which include our customers, our communities and our regulators and shareholders. By supporting the Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central with their own personal resources for the second year running, our staff have given true meaning and relevance to our brand promise. I am proud of their efforts and commitment even as we work together as a team to deliver greater value to all our stakeholders. Our communities need a lot of development and it is great supporting Clubs and social groups like Rotary to deliver the much-needed assistance.”

 

The President of the Rotary Club of Accra, Ring Road Central, Mr. Charles Okyere commended the staff of FBNBank for their contribution and thanked them for their consistent support. He mentioned similar support received from staff of the Bank last year towards Child-focused projects namely the renovation and construction of classrooms and library for the Golden Spring School in Tetegu and the purchase of essential equipment for the children’s cancer unit at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

 

The Berekuso Health Centre project will be constructed on a parcel of land provided by the community and it shall have amenities like an Out-patient department, a maternity ward, male, female and children’s wards, a laboratory, a psychiatric unit, injection and emergency room, an antenatal unit, a pharmacy, stores, washrooms, consulting rooms and a public health section among others.

 

FBNBank has in its 25 years of operating in Ghana remained focused on putting its customers and communities first.

FBNBank Ghana is a member of the First Bank of Nigeria Limited Group which is renowned for its great customer service and general stakeholder engagement garnered over its 127 years of operation.

The Managing Director of FBNBank Ghana, Mr. Victor Yaw Asante has urged the Rotary Club of Ho to continue to make a difference in the Volta Region and beyond by making lives better in the communities in line with the ideals of Rotary International.

 

Speaking at the 37th Presidential Ball and Fundraising Dinner of the Rotary Club of Ho on the topic “Rotary; My Charity of Choice,” Mr. Asante, the DGE of district 9102, Rotary (Ghana, Togo, Benin and Niger), recounted some key projects undertaken over the past 36 years in the Volta Region by the Rotary Club of Ho especially recent ones such as a water project in partnership with Goil at the Taviefe Senior High School, a donation to transport unions in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and the donation of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Machine to the Premature Unit of the Ho Teaching Hospital.

 

He urged the members to do more than they have done previously and challenged them to make an impact in the current Rotary year, saying “the communities of Abutia Norsivi, Awata, Badzikofe and towns such as Ho, Hohoe and Aflao must feel the impact of Rotary Club of Ho via the projects you have lined up for the year,” he said.

 

According to Mr. Asante, Rotary affords people who have the skills and resources an opportunity to tackle some of the world’s most difficult problems and deliver sustainable, long-lasting results. “For decades, Rotary has been a leader in the battle against polio and with the help of our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we have reduced cases by 99.9% since 1988. The infrastructure developed to facilitate both immunizations and eradication is being used to fight and protect against other diseases as well. For example, the method known as “contact tracing” was previously used by Rotary to assist in containing an Ebola outbreak in Nigeria in 2014 and has become more relevant today in the fight against the COVID–19 pandemic. Remember that indeed, Rotarians have been actively engaged in disease control and prevention over the years from which this knowledge was acquired.”

 

The event was attended by the Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa, who was also the Guest of Honour and Rotary Club members including Assistant Governors, Past Assistant Governors, District Officers, current and Past Presidents, President Elects and many other Rotarians and Rotaractors.

 

Delivering his speech, Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa, said, “It is no secret that the challenges that confront this country are enormous and cannot be tackled by the government alone. There is a need for corporate bodies, individuals, and service organizations like Rotary to get involved and play important roles in supporting the government in its developmental agenda. In the Inaugural speech of His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, he challenged all of us “to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building our communities and our nation.” This is why I very much appreciate the work you do as Rotarians. Your commitment and passion for identifying needs in our community and finding sustainable solutions to these needs is something that must be applauded. The history of the Rotary Club of Ho, in terms of projects, is very impressive. The boreholes you have provided, the water systems you have built, the classroom buildings you have constructed, your donations of items to hospitals and other places, just to mention a few, have been a big support for this nation and has ensured that Government can focus on other equally important projects.”

 

The President of the Rotary Club of Ho, Eric Botey, who welcomed all invitees asked members to continue to align with the ideals of Rotary. He indicated that, “Yes, Rotary lives in us as individuals but the service we seek to provide in changing lives is in the club; it is in numbers. While, we want to be effective and efficient with our membership, let us continuously ask ourselves, what is the purpose of our membership? It is worth noting that, Rotary’s strength lies in that purpose and we need to be sincere with that. We need to, as individual Rotarians recognize ourselves and know the reason for which we have joined Rotary; to serve and let us do this with full commitment so that we can increase our impact, expand our reach, enhance participant engagement, and increase our ability to adapt. He extended an invitation to non-Rotarians to become Rotarians, saying “I wish to extend a warm invitation to you to consider becoming Rotarians, and to join any Rotary Club close to you or to partner us and support our projects so we can together serve to change lives.”

 

Rotary brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more than 34,000 Rotary Clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work improves lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need in their own communities to working toward a better world. Today, Rotarians lend their time, expertise and resources to do good in communities focusing on; peace and conflict prevention and resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, economic and community development and the environment.

FBNBank has signalled that it remains focused on ensuring that the Bank’s customers are successful by placing them at the heart of its business and ensuring that they benefit fully from the Bank’s support.

 

This commitment was reiterated by FBNBank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Victor Yaw Asante to the Bank’s customers at a Customer Reception held in Kumasi. The event which forms part of the Bank’s 25th anniversary celebrations was organised in order to give the Bank’s Managing Director and his team an opportunity to interact with the customers. The reception was attended by about 100 top customers of the Bank who took up the opportunity to offer their feedback and discuss areas of mutual benefit. The event’s setting also ensured that the engagement with the customers was close up and first-hand.

 

Speaking at the event, Mr. Asante said, “our commitment is to you, our customers and it does not matter where you are in Ghana and where you conduct your business in the world. Through our team and with the benefit of technology we would ensure that you are at the heart of what we do. It is a relationship and we are in it for the long haul. We however cannot make much progress if you do not share your needs and challenges with us. We can fashion out solutions for you based on the feedback you give us. We can only be as good as you make us.”

 

Most of the customers present at the reception work in the SME sector, which means credit and trade solutions were top of their needs lists. Among their challenges was the need for faster processing of loans and overdrafts and the request for new solutions to address an identified trend. Some of the customers also commended some employees of the Bank for their efforts at customer relationship management.

 

In response, Mr. Asante emphasized the bank’s commitment to customization of products and services to meet the specific needs of the customers. He stated that, “we are willing to design new products and services to suit your needs. With the introduction of opportunities like AfCFTA we have put ourselves in the right position to support our customers as they take advantage of the extended African market. We are reaffirming our commitment to the SME sector and we will continue to stay abreast with developments in order to be able to partner with you better.”

 

As part of the event, Mr. Asante and his team, made up of Mr. Philip Afari, Area Head, Northern Ghana, Mrs. Sharon Bansa, Head, Retail Marketing, Mrs. Agatha Ashley, Team Lead, Enterprise Process Improvement and Mr. Enoch Vanderpuye, Country Team Lead, Marketing and Corporate Communications had the opportunity to engage with customers on a one-on-one basis to discuss issues of mutual concern and benefit. The customers were generally very appreciative of the effort by the Bank to engage them directly and look forward to more of such sessions.

 

FBNBank Ghana has since 1996, supported SMEs in several sectors including manufacturing, export and import. The Bank’s focus on SMEs was reaffirmed earlier this year by the Managing Director, Mr. Victor Yaw Asante when he announced the celebration of the Bank’s 25th anniversary.  FBNBank Ghana is a member of the First Bank of Nigeria Limited Group which is renowned for its great customer service and general stakeholder engagement garnered over its 127 years of operation.

FBNBank Ghana is urging women to gear up with the right capabilities, attitude and skills in order to be able to take on the challenges that equal opportunities at the workplace would present so as to ensure that they achieve their full potential.

 

To commemorate International Women Day 2021 (IWD 2021), the Bank, through its FBNBank Women Network, held a Forum to discuss issues pertaining to the advancement of the cause of women at the workplace under the same theme as the IWD 2021 celebrations, “Choose to Challenge.” The Forum, which also allowed for virtual participation featured a panel of four resource persons and over 200 attendees.

 

Speaking at the Forum, FBNBank Ghana’s Country Head of Technology and Services, Mrs. Rachel Adeshina, who is also the Chairperson of the FBNBank Women Network (FWN), said, “through the platform provided by the FBNBank Women Network, we have displayed our commitment to maintaining the status quo of equal opportunities for women, particularly at the workplace. The pillars of the FWN in particular, ensure that our women find a seat at whatever table they aspire to be at, armed with the right skill-sets in order that they can contribute greater value for success. What we need to see now is for us, women, to determine how far we want to go and to build our capabilities in order that we can be up for the challenge. That is the choice we, women, have to make and nobody can do that for us.”

 

The FWN is a platform introduced by the Bank’s parent company, First Bank of Nigeria, to promote access to equal opportunities for women at the workplace. It offers female employees capacity building and personal development through its six pillars which are: Career Management, Networking Programmes/Projects & Events, Counselling-Support-Welfare, Financial Planning & Empowerment, Mentoring-Coaching-Sponsoring and Personal Branding. These are aimed at empowering them to contribute meaningfully wherever they find themselves.

 

Addressing the participants, the Special Guest, Mrs. Comfort Ocran, a member of the Board of the Bank of Ghana, said “Women must be ready to take up opportunities when they come up without looking at the challenges. We all have different skill-sets and priorities so your place is where your knowledge, skills and priorities place you. Wherever you find yourself, based on your choices, you must be prepared to discharge your role very well. Yes, you will need support as you go along. However, in any given situation you will need to prove through your actions that you are worthy of that support.”

 

Women make up about 48 per cent of FBNBank Ghana’s staff population. The Bank also has a strong female presence across all levels of personnel including senior management and the board. Over the years, the Bank, through the FBNBank Women Network has driven an agenda of encouraging and empowering women in the Bank to take advantage of the equal opportunities available. The celebration of the International Women Day is a key item on the Bank’s annual calendar as it offers an opportunity for both the Bank and its staff to reaffirm their commitment to deliver on the issues related to gender parity and to assess their performance over the past year.

 

Commenting, FBNBank Ghana’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Victor Yaw Asante said “we need our women to aspire more than before. This is why, as an institution, FBNBank has provided a system which makes it possible for women to achieve their full potential. We are deliberate about this because we recognise that what should be is not what it is. Given what we have put in place, the responsibility is on our female colleagues to take up the challenge.” “The first call is yourself. Feeling sorry for yourself at the least opportunity is defeatist. The special challenges like motherhood and marriage, should not translate into difficulties which would derail your progress,” he added.

 

This year, FBNBank Ghana, as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations, will be giving its female staff several opportunities to exhibit their leadership, diversity and capabilities in a wide range of activities. The FBNBank Women Network will be delivering these under its six pillars in order to offer its members a great capacity building experience.

As part of the strategy to broaden the opportunities and access to financial services for the unbanked and underbanked segment of our society, FBNBank Ghana has launched the Agent Banking channel.

Speaking at the launch of the FBN Agent Banking channel, Victor Yaw Asante, Managing Director of FBNBank Ghana said the bank has leveraged new and evolving technologies to provide access and bring affordable and convenient financial services closer to customers through a network of agents.

Mr. Asante expressed the concern that lack of access and usage of financial services by a significant portion of the population hinder their ability to contribute to the economy as they may not able to attract capital or secure credit for production and/or consumption purposes.

According to the FBNBank Ghana Managing Director, this highlights the need for financial inclusion as a socio-economic development tool. He said financial inclusion has emerged strongly as a current issue among policymakers, development partners and the private sector, all of who recognise it as an enabler for attaining the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Mr. Asante noted that the bank will work with its network of agents to present a convenient and comfortable alternative for customers that require simple and easy to use digital channels across the country.

“Our agent banking project will go along with continuous innovation and a roll out of new and improved electronic ways that will allow many users to carry out several transactions within their communities at FBNBank Agent locations” the FBNBank Ghana MD said.

He was optimistic that FBNBank Ghana will leverage on the experience and knowledge of its parent, First Bank of Nigeria Limited that had grown its agent banking model, Firstmonie, launched in 2017, with the indirect creation of over 150,000 jobs through its over 53,000 Firstmonie Agents to meet the needs of customers.

Welcoming guests to the launch of the FBNBank Agent network, the bank’s Country Head for Technology & Services, Mrs. Rachel Adeshina remarked that “the FBNBank Ghana Agents are positioned within the Accra-Tema metropolis and other locations around the bank’s branches to provide basic financial services such as account opening, cash deposit, cash withdrawals, funds transfer and much more to customers.” She added that “through this channel, the bank is committed to providing convenient services that endear trust, provide ease of access to financial products, thereby saving time and travel cost.”
