Standard Chartered Bank Ghana PLC engaged a cross section of clients in the Kumasi metropolis on how to grow their wealth and protect their investments. This initiative forms part of efforts by the Bank to meet the needs of clients in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Initial sessions have been held in Accra. The team moved to Kumasi where Wealth Specialists explained the need for clients to take good investment decisions.
Clients were made to understand that they were eroding the value of their cash if left idle in their account as the advantages of investing are enormous. The engagement session was over a period of three days with clients being engaged at various times that suited their schedules. The specialists introduced the clients to investment opportunities to help them take the right decisions.
Dr. Setor Quashigah, Head Affluent and Wealth Management, said, “We are glad to be in Kumasi. For over 125 years, Standard Chartered has put the needs of clients first. We have made investment easy and seamless on the SC Mobile App. We will not expose clients to unnecessary risk. The real cost of investment is the decision not to invest”, she added.
The icing on the cake for the sessions was the presentation on Bancassurance. This focused on the juicy insurance packages Standard Chartered in partnership with insurance partners, Prudential Life and Enterprise Life, namely the Legacy Life Plan and Future Plus Plan to mention a few that help secure the lives of families of the client in the case of sickness, disability or death. The clients were assured of prompt payment of insurance claims, some within five days.
At Standard Chartered, our advisory capabilities are unmatched with our ability to offer clients access to the Ghana Eurobond market and provide them with a vast array of other securities. The clients also have the advantage to unlock extra funds using their investments as collateral to request for a secured overdraft facility at competitive rates. Clients have access to the Bank’s Digi Advisory Services and can do all their investments themselves on the SC Mobile App.
