Foremost African financial institution; Guaranty Trust Bank plc reaffirmed its position as a leading global brand with its recent recognition as\u00a0\u2018<\/strong>Nigeria\u2019s Best Bank & Africa\u2019s Best Bank for SMEs<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0during the 2017 Euromoney Awards which held in London on Thursday, July 06, 2017 at the prestigious Tower of London.<\/p>\n

Now in its 26th<\/sup>\u00a0year, 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.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Clive Horwood, Euromoney Magazine\u2019s Editor, \u201cNigeria went through a difficult year, as low oil prices and capital flight continued to hurt the country\u2019s economy. Many banks struggled as a result of this but GTBank remained strong, recordingsignificant and enviable financial and non-financial performance. According to him, the bank\u2019s digital transformation drive has been very successful as it has enabled the bank to deepen financial inclusion across Africa with its array of tailor-made digital solutions that has made banking simpler and more accessible.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the award, Segun Agbaje, Managing Director\/CEO of GTBank said:\u00a0“We are honored to win the Best Bank in Nigeria award a record eight times and to be recognized as Africa\u2019s Best Bank for SMEs. These awards reflect our progress in building strong, value adding relationships with our customers whilst positioning the bank as the financial institution for Small and Medium Enterprises through our creation of free business platforms that are geared towards promoting enterprise in key economic sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

GTBank has consistently played a leading role in Africa\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
