Republic Bank Ghana, a subsidiary of Republic Financial Holding Limited has set up a Corporate Banking office at its improved Takoradi branch. This was revealed by the Managing Director of the Bank, Anthony Jordan during the commissioning of the new Takoradi branch last week Friday.

According to the Managing Director, Republic Bank has long since declared its focus to provide financing solutions to contractors in the energy and extractive sectors of Ghana. Over the last four years, the Bank has had an increasingly good partnership with the Sekondi Takoradi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (STCCI) and the Petroleum Commission of Ghana in building capacity and empowering local content in the Oil & Gas sector. The set up of the Corporate Banking Unit seeks to further strengthen Republic Bank’s partnership with these organizations and their members.

He also added that the new outlook of the Branch is a representation of the Republic Bank brand and the future. “We are gradually moving the Bank into the digital space. Our digital strategy is to provide convenience, speed and customer being in control by leveraging on Technology while providing a comfortable banking ambience should you need to visit one of our branches” – he added.
