Accra, March 26, GNA – Mr Julian Opuni, the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Ghana, says the bank will continue to implement policies to inure to the benefit of Ghanaians and promote economic growth.  

Speaking at a media engagement on Wednesday, Mr Opuni highlighted some new and existing initiatives designed for various segments of the public to better their lives. 

These include the Orange Inspire, Local Language, Digital Innovations, Green Tech Challenge, and SME support. 

The bank would, within the year, introduce the “Orange Inspire” initiative designed specifically to cater for the needs of players in the creative arts sector, he said.  

Mr Opuni said the bank realised that the arts sector was usually left out in matters relating to investments and thought it wise to offer mentorship, funding and grants to help beneficiaries change the face of the industry. 

Another initiative was the introduction of local language into its operations to serve the uneducated segments of the market.  

Aside from getting that segment to save, the bank believed that financial literacy could be improved with the introduction of the local language.  

Mr Opuni threw light on some existing innovations and initiatives the bank would continue to implement to ensure growth. 

These include the GreenTech Innovation Challenge aimed at revolutionising Ghana’s agricultural sector through investment in youth-led agricultural startups. 

On digital innovations, he said the bank was poised to making banking more convenient and had, for some time now, engaged some of its clients on social media platforms, including WhatsApp, and would continue to do that. 

Additionally, credit facilities would be provided the ordinary Ghanaian who needed money to support their businesses. 

Mr Opuni called on Ghanaians to help that vision to materialise by continuing to transact business with the bank.
