GTBank wins best bank in Nigeria

July 11, 2015 – Guarantee Trust Bank (Gtb)  on Thursday emerged Best Bank in Nigeria during the 2015 Euromoney Award for Excellence held in London. The event which took place at the Natural History Museum, had in attendance leading bankers around the  world.

Speaking at the event, Editor Euromoney, Mr. Clive Horwood said the competition for the 2015 edition is arguably the toughest since the start of the global financial crisis.

“In winning this award, GTBank stands out not only because of its stellar performance but by its ability to define what its core strengths are, abide by these strengths and build its business around them”, he said.

 According to him, banking in the future will be about what you do, as well as what you don’t do. GTBank stands out as Euromoneys’ best bank in Nigeria for its ability to adapt to local situations while maintaining international standards of best practice.

Being, the 1st Nigerian Bank to win this award 7 years consecutively, outside of 2013, when we were recognised as The Best Managed Bank in Nigeria, is also an affirmation of our position as a Proudly African and Truly International Institution”, he said.

 While thanking customers for their continuous patronage and tremendous support over the years, he said the bank will continue to leverage its brand equity to tap into the growth potentials of African economies.
