Africa’s best bank 2019: Guaranty Trust Bank

Awards for Excellence 2019

Local banks are taking advantage of the trend, investing and growing their banking operations across the continent to fill the gaps left by the departure of international firms. 

Banks once considered local players are increasingly becoming regional champions, looking beyond national borders to reap the benefits of the growing middle class and strong economic growth across much of the continent.
