We set ourselves a cast to be the largest in the banking industry in Ghana and this year marks 10 years since we started banking in Ghana and today as I speak to you we are in 26locations in Ghana. So everywhere you go in Ghana you will find a GN Bank and we put out our own signature buildings,” the President and CEO of Groupe Nduom maintained.
