“Now what we have done is to ensure that, we have partnered with multinationals to provide us with funding which through that, we can also provide funding to our clients based on terms and conditions, which are much more competitive than the usual market price. Through that partnership, we are also able to provide technical assistance to the clients who access these from there. We also do provide some sort of grants to customers who qualify for these funding, so at the end of the day, their cost of financing will be minimized.”
“As part of providing sustainable solutions to our clients, as an institution, we have signed up to sustainable development goals, and we have also signed up to the sustainable banking principles being promoted by the Central Bank and the Ghana Association of Bankers. So we have a responsibility to promote that green agenda. The sustainability agenda, as an institution, we support the global agenda of making sure that, we are able to sustain the earth”.
