Foremost African financial institution; Guaranty Trust Bank plc reaffirmed
its position as a leading global brand with its recent recognition as the
‘Best Bank in Nigeria & Best Digital Bank in Africa’ during the 2016
Euromoney Awards which held in London on Wednesday, July 06, 2016 at the
prestigious Tower of London.
Now in its 25th year, the Euromoney Awards for Excellence covers more than
20 global product categories, best-in-class awards and the best Banks in
over 100 countries around the world by recognizing institutions that have
demonstrated leadership, innovation, and momentum in the markets they
operate. In selecting its recipients, Euromoney combines quantitative and
qualitative data to honor institutions that have brought the highest
levels of service, innovation and expertise to their customers.
According to Mr. Clive Horwood, Euromoney Magazine’s Editor, “Competition
for the awards this year was tough, arguably the toughest it has been
since the start of the global financial crisis. In winning these awards,
GTBank stands out not only because of its stellar performance but by its
ability to define what its core strengths are, abide by these strengths
and build its business around them. According to him, banking in the
future will be about what you do, as well as what you don’t do. GTBank
stands out as Euromoneys’ best bank in Nigeria & Africa’s Best Digital
Bank for its ability to adapt to local situations while maintaining
international standards of best practice.”
Receiving the award on behalf of the Bank, Segun Agbaje, Managing
Director/CEO of GTBank said “We are humbled and proud to emerge double
award winners for Best Bank in Nigeria & Best Digital Bank in Africa.
Winning these awards is an acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication
of our staff, management and Board. It also represents our commitment to
serving our customers and making banking simpler and more accessible for
them.
He further stated that, winning the “Best Bank in Nigeria” award a record
nine times is a reflection of the loyalty of our stakeholders which
enables us consistently deliver superior performance.
GTBank has consistently played a leading role in Africa’s banking
industry. The GTBank brand is regarded by industry watchers as one of the
best run financial institutions across its subsidiary countries and serves
as a role model within the financial service industry due to its bias for
world class corporate governance standards, excellent service quality and
innovation.
