“We pay homage to the founding fathers; due to their foresight and commitment, First Atlantic Bank was instituted on August 28, 1995, as a Merchant Bank with 4 Branches, a few dedicated staff and customers who believed in the budding brand, and thus have remained loyal through the growth phases.”

“To continue to achieve our objectives, the coming years will demand innovation, dedication, secure and efficient technology, quality customer service and above all, dynamic engagement with the support of our customers, business partners, regulators and our shareholders.”

He called on all stakeholders to renew their pledge to further strengthen the position of the bank and set her on the wings of becoming the “Global Bank out of Ghana.”
