Foremost
African financial institution; Guaranty Trust Bank plc has once again
reaffirmed its position as a leading global brand with its recent recognition as
the ‘Best Bank in Nigeria’ during the 2015 Euromoney Awards held in London at
the Natural History Museum on Thursday, July 09, 2015.
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 this award, 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 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 be recognised as the Best Bank in
Nigeria. For us, this award is an acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication
of our staff, management and Board. It represents our commitment to serving our
customers and providing them with value oriented products and services
suited to their varied needs. Our desire to always be at the frontier of
excellence, enables us remain relevant to our customers and add value to all
stakeholders. Being, the 1st Nigerian Bank to win this award 7 years
consecutively, outside of 2013, when we were recognised as The Best Managed
Bank in Nigeria, is also an affirmation of our position as a Proudly African
and Truly International Institution.
Whilst thanking
the Bank’s customers for their continuous patronage and tremendous support over
the years, he further stated that
the Bank will continue to leverage its brand equity to tap into the growth
potentials of African economies.
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.
