Ghana: MTN concludes extensive network deployment for GCB Bank

MTN Ghana’s completion of WAN connectivity deployment for GCB Bank Plc, overseen by its Capital Projects Group, represents a pivotal achievement in bolstering GCB Bank’s digital infrastructure and reinforcing its dedication to leveraging modern technologies for customer service.

GCB’s core project team, led by Chief Information Officer Abel Daitey, met with MTN’s team, led by Acting Chief Enterprise Business Officer Richard Densu, for a project closure ceremony. They officially signed off on User Acceptance Tests (UATs) for 212 sites, highlighting MTN’s seamless integration of cutting-edge technology to enhance GCB Bank’s network connectivity and uphold superior service standards for its customers.

Considering this achievement, Richard Densu thanked the project team for their commitment to the delivery of the project. He said: “We are happy to have been chosen by the largest financial institution in the country, GCB Bank, for this project; and we look forward to expanding this relationship into other areas, particularly in the digital space, cloud and data centres”.

GCB Bank Plc expressed its gratitude to MTN Ghana for the timely deployment of WAN for the business. Abel Daitey said: “This project emphasises our commitment to utilising up-to-date technologies provided by MTN to deliver seamless innovative banking experiences and an enhanced customer experience”.

Initiated after MTN’s successful bid last year, the project involved deploying wide area network connectivity to 212 GCB Bank Plc sites, including branches, agencies, and remote ATMs. Its completion signifies a substantial technological leap and strengthens the partnership between MTN and GCB Bank Plc. This collaboration between industry leaders reflects a shared vision for digital transformation and customer-centric solutions in the future.
