“GTBank through the introduction of its Bank 737 products has redefined the traditional bricks and mortar experience to a swift, convenient and mobile user-friendly experience.”

The Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Agbaje, in his remark, noted “Our vision has always been to create an oasis of excellence in Africa, and buoyed by this accolade, we are determined to achieve more and consolidate our leading position in the industry by radically adopting innovative solutions, pursuing collaborations, and maintaining a high standard in creating sustainable value for stakeholders”.

The bank got nominations from three different categories including: the 2016 African Bank of the Year award, Best Retail Bank and the Innovative Bank of the year award.
