It speaks volumes having the Bank for Africa jerk up its leadership and management  team with well  rounded and highly experienced bankers from across various continents.

The move according to the bank is to drive delivery of its new 5-year Growth Transformation and Reform (GTR) strategy, as “the bank enters its next phase of growth and transformation, aiming to become the bank of choice and a leader in delivering responsive, innovative and affordable financial services’ products and solutions for Africa”.

It has therefore appointed Abena Osei-Poku to serve as Regional Executive Anglophone West Africa and Managing Director Ecobank Ghana; Martin Mireku as Group Executive for Transformation, Enablement and Customer Experience; Anup Suri as Group Executive, Commercial and Consumer Banking; Michael Larbie as Group Executive, Corporate and Investment Banking, and Thierry Mbimi as Group Executive, Internal Audit & Management Services.

A leading private pan-African banking group, Ecobank Group presently operates in 35 sub-Saharan African countries including The Gambia. It has also pitched tents in countries far afield as in France, the UK, the UAE and China.

With over 15,000 employees and 32 million customers, the Group has its Gambian subsidiary Ecobank Gambia offering quality products and services across the country in tandem with its apex body’s banking products, services and solutions across multiple channels including digital.

Just last month, Ecobank Gambia Limited added another feather in its cap with a Gambia Revenue Authority award as Bank of the Year 2023 in The Gambia for being effectively tax compliant

The Bank’s growth trajectory has continued to provide ease-of-life products and services for its customers within the country and across nations of various continents. Hope for the better is the prayer in this pathway.
