Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTBank) has announced that it will cover all charges on transfers, USSD transactions and bank alerts for holders of its GTCrea8 Account, a bespoke banking product for young undergraduates between the ages of 16 and 25.<\/p>\n

The bank disclosed this in a statement yesterday.<\/p>\n

GTBank described the GTCRea8 as a core part of its value proposition to deliver value adding banking services to young people whilst empowering them to pursue excellence in their academics and respective interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the bank charges that GTCrea8 account holders will no longer have to pay include charges on bank transfers, even when the transfer is to other banks. Undergraduates will also not be charged for using 737, the bank\u2019s industry-leading USSD service, nor will students be charged for transaction alerts received whether via SMS or email. GTCrea8 account holders will also enjoy special offers and discounts when they make use of GTBank\u2019s trendsetting digital platforms, such as Habari, which offers access to music and video streaming, shopping, messaging, and bills payment all in one place,\u201d the statement explained.<\/p>

Chief Executive Officer of Guaranty Trust Bank, Segun Agbaje, was quoted to have said: \u201cEmpowering young people in every way we can is the most valuable investment that we can make for the future. That is why we have taken this bold step to cover the cost of all their banking charges, not just to allow them to bank for free, but also to inspire them to imagine a world free of all limits to their ambitions, and in which they can achieve their greatest dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further assured his customers that the bank, \u201cwill continue to find innovative ways and create new initiatives to give young people all the motivation, support and platform that they need to thrive. This is the reason we have made banking free for young undergraduates, and it is also the reason we are organizing the GTBank Fashion Weekend, the biggest fashion event in Africa, on November 9-10, 2019 to champion the talent, creativity and endeavours of our young entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
