First Atlantic Opens Kasoa, Madina Branches

First Atlantic Bank recently opened branches at Kasoa and Madina near Accra to bring its services closer to clients and offer them suitable banking.

Karen Akiwumi-Tanoh, Board Chairman of the Bank, said the bank's strategic objective was to grow the network to 31 branches by the end of this year, adding that currently it stands at 28.

The bank intends to improve its presence in the Greater Accra, Ashanti, Western, Central and the Brong Ahafo Regions.

“It is our prayer to be operational in Tamale before the end of the third quarter this year,” Mrs Akiwumi-Tanoh said.

Odun Odunfa, Managing Director of the Bank, said the bank was determined to bring superior services to customers through efficient and simple transactions.

Mr Odunfa assured customers that the bank would continue to develop innovative products to meet their needs.

Dan Marfo, Executive Director Business, said First Atlantic Bank offers a bouquet of six different savings products aimed at providing options to meet the needs of all customers.

He said for many small and medium scale businesses, the bank's unique Atlantic Business Savings and Business Flex products should be a key consideration.

Mr Marfo said the bank also provided a suite of electronic services such as internet banking, mobile banking, point of sales channels, as well as local pre-paid, visa debit and prepaid, Mastercard Debit and American Express cards.

He said the electronic services were covered by the internationally acclaimed PCIDSS security certification, one of two banks in the country to be fully certified.

To provide the Ghanaian Diaspora with options to send money back home to family and friends and for investment, the bank has partnered seven international remittance service providers, including MoneyGram, Western Union and Ria.
