OmniBSIC
Bank, Ghana’s fastest-growing financial institution, has officially relocated
its Kejetia branch to a state-of-the-art facility within the Osons Chemist
Building. This strategic move by the bank is aimed at reinforcing its brand
promise ‘Not Just Another Bank’ by delivering exceptional financial services in
the heart of Ghana’s most vibrant commercial district, Kumasi.
The
relocation is a direct response to the massive economic evolution of the
Kejetia area. As home to the Kumasi Central Market, the largest single market
in West Africa, Kejetia is a critical engine of the Ghanaian economy. With over
11,000 stalls and a daily influx of more than 50,000 traders and shoppers, the
district requires a financial partner capable of handling high velocity
transactions and providing a spacious, secure environment for business owners.
The
new branch at the Osons Chemist Building offers significantly more floor space,
enhanced accessibility, and modern digital touchpoints to better serve this
bustling community. Speaking at the soft opening of the relocated branch, Dr.
Bernice Asamoah, Divisional Head (Marketing) at OmniBSIC Bank, said that the
new location is a physical manifestation of the Bank’s dedication to
excellence. She noted that as the Bank commits to being the bank of choice, its
physical infrastructure must mirror the quality of its financial solutions.
"The
relocation of our Kejetia branch is more than a change of address, it is a
tangible reflection of our commitment to excellence. As we advance toward
becoming a tier one Bank, our physical infrastructure must match the quality of
the financial solutions we provide. This new branch ensures that the vibrant
Kejetia business community feels valued, supported, and experiences firsthand
why we are truly 'Not Just Another Bank.' Every interaction here is designed to
reinforce that promise,” she said.
Echoing
these sentiments, Zonal Manager (Ashanti Central), Mr. Samuel Duncan
highlighted the operational advantages of the new premises. He remarked that
the Kejetia market is the heartbeat of trade in the Ashanti Region and that by
moving to a more spacious and accessible location, the Bank is eliminating the
bottlenecks of the past and setting a new standard for service delivery.
He
added that the team is now better positioned to provide the speed and
convenience that modern traders demand, further entrenching OmniBSIC’s role as
the preferred financial partner for SMEs and retail customers in Kumasi. "Kejetia
is the pulse of commerce in Kumasi, and this new branch ensures we keep pace.
With more space, better accessibility, and faster service, we are removing
bottlenecks and empowering traders to focus on what they do best, growing their
businesses. OmniBSIC is here to make banking seamless, efficient, and truly
supportive for the market community,” he noted.
This
relocation marks another milestone for OmniBSIC Bank following its recent
stellar financial performance and its continued commitment to being a liquid,
robust, and customer centric financial institution.
About
OmniBSIC Bank
OmniBSIC
Bank is a fully-fledged universal bank formed through the merger of the
erstwhile OmniBank and Sahel Sahara Bank. The merger was driven by the Bank of
Ghana’s banking sector consolidation programme introduced in 2017, which
included increasing the minimum capital requirement nearly fourfold from GH¢120
million to GH¢400 million.
The
merger is considered one of the most successful in Ghana’s financial services
industry, largely due to the similarities in business models and size of the
two institutions, as well as the willingness of stakeholders (management,
staff, and directors) to embrace the unification. This synergy positioned the
new entity as a significant player in Ghana’s banking ecosystem.
OmniBSIC
has since reinforced its corporate governance structures and invested in
infrastructure to align with the Bank of Ghana’s regulatory standards. The bank
is committed to upholding the highest levels of integrity, transparency, and accountability,
and creating a reliable framework for customers to conduct their banking
activities with confidence and convenience.
Headquartered
in Accra’s Airport City, OmniBSIC Bank operates a network of 40 branches across
Ghana. It offers a comprehensive suite of products, services, and digital
solutions tailored to the needs of corporate clients, SMEs, and individuals,
while actively supporting the communities in which it operates.
To
ensure the delivery of exceptional banking experience, the Bank invests heavily
in technology and employee development reflected in its rigorous staff
selection process and comprehensive capacity building programmes. OmniBSIC Bank
