‘We are poised for continued global excellence’ - Fidelity Bank MD, assures as EXCO members engage with Media Editors

In appreciation of the media’s influential role in our success over the last 15 years, our senior executives led by our Managing Director, Julian Opuni, have engaged with editors from key media houses to thank them for their support.

The engagement, which was held at our Head Office also served as an opportunity for our management to tell our success story and elucidate our future plans as we celebrate 15 years of Banking Excellence.

During the engagement, Mr. Julian Opuni highlighted our history, noting that our success is attributed in a large part to the ethos established by our founders – a customer-centric approach and a commitment to creating value for all stakeholders. Mr. Opuni added that Fidelity’s success story proves that Ghanaians can achieve global standards of excellence right here in Ghana with the right mindset, focus, and determination.

Commenting on our support to the SME sector, Mr. Opuni noted that “As the largest privately-owned Ghanaian bank, we feel we have an even larger role to play in the SME space. We have therefore over the years invested in this area; accordingly, we established the Fidelity SME Academy to help SMEs build their capacity. We also launched the Fidelity Young Entrepreneurs Fund to support youth-led businesses with access to finance and non-finance resources among many other initiatives.” He also reiterated our burgeoning partnership with Development Bank Ghana as a means to provide further financial muscle to the nation’s vibrant and growing SME sector.

To round up his exposition on our progress over the past 15 years, our MD highlighted notable milestones chalked with respect to our sterling financial performance, myriad global and local recognitions as well as the various outstanding initiatives we have introduced to support economic growth and financial inclusion. He noted that these successes have been possible as a result of the collaborative efforts of the management team, staff, and all our stakeholders.

Mr. Opuni also commended the media for its unflinching support throughout our meteoric 15year journey. He expressed the belief that with the continued support of the media, we would continue to rise and emerge as a dominant continental and global force in the ensuing years.

He stated: “We value the work you do as the media because we acknowledge that without your support, we may never have been able to publicize our products and services as well as the good work we do for our customers and Ghanaians in general.”

On their part, the editors expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to interact with our management team as we chart the way forward. They pledged their commitment to continue playing their critical role to tell positive stories regarding advances in the nation’s finance and banking sector, and serve as watchdogs to ensure ethical propriety, transparency, and excellence.

Our management announced that in the coming weeks, we will launch a social impact initiative dubbed Orange Impact in line with our culture of giving back to society. The Orange Impact initiative will also serve as a means of saying thank you to Ghanaians for keeping faith with us.
