According to Mr. Clive Horwood, Euromoney Magazine\u2019s Editor, \u201cNigeria went

\nbut GTBank remained strong, recording significant and enviable financial
\nand non-financial performance. According to him, the bank\u2019s digital
\ntransformation drive has been very successful as it has enabled the bank
\nto deepen financial inclusion across Africa with its array of tailor-made
\ndigital solutions that has made banking simpler and more accessible.<\/p>\n
