The innovative product, the management says, offers Ghanaians abroad the opportunity to open and operate a local bank account for savings, remittances, business and other purposes.
Savings could also be used as collateral for loans.
The managing director of Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Limited, Lekan Sanusi, yesterday said: “Coming out with the NRG Account is in line with our new strategic focus to continue to bring our services even closer to all Ghanaians irrespective of their location worldwide.”
The NRG Account, he explained, gives customers access to a wide range of banking products and services, including current and savings accounts, foreign exchange account, foreign currency account, investment in money market instruments, e-banking services and card products such as MasterCard and Visa.
It can be operated in cedi, dollar, euro and pound sterling with statements of accounts being sent to clients by email and SMS. Deposits are done through conversion of foreign currency to a cedi account via transfer from a bank account abroad.
Cash and cheques can also be deposited into the accounts by other people on behalf of the customer at any of the bank’s branches in Ghana. — CAJ News.

Currently, GTBank operates from 23 outlets spread across six regions in the country – Greater Accra, Ashanti, Western, Brong Ahafo, Volta and the Northern regions. – CAJ News
