Zenith
Bank Gambia on Monday opened two new branches in Kanifing, Jimpex Road and
Brikama in the West Coast Region, bringing its total branch network to six.
The
bank’s managing director, Anthony Nwoko, said the opening of the two new
branches is an indication that Zenith Bank is committed to stay and contribute
to the socio-economic development of The Gambia.
He
said Zenith Bank’s objective is to bring banking services to the doorstep of
its customers.
Mr
Nwoko thanked his bank board of directors and the Central Bank of The Gambia
for their support and approval to open the branches. He also thanked the bank’s
customers for their continuous support over the years.
He
went further to inform the gathering that since coming into the country they
have introduced various products and services into the market, leveraging on
their exceptional customer service delivery.
He said this has consistently earned them a positive public perception.
The
new branches would deliver a wide range of universal banking services to
corporate, commercial, and individual customers including treasury and
financial services, international banking operations and trade finance, as well
as funds management.
The
MD said the bank would also utilize its state-of-the-art Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) platform to provide unique electronic banking services,
including ATM, Internet banking, and electronic payment solutions.
According
to him, Zenith is the only bank that issues Master Card in The Gambia and
deplored ATM`s in all its branches. The cards, he said, can be used both
locally and internationally.
The
priest of Blessed Sacrament, Rev. Gomez, prayed for the bank and wishes them
well in their operation. He assured the
management their support and patronage.
For
their part, the Imam of Brikama Mosque and the Catholic Priest who led the
