Operations of the two major banks that were merged to form OmniBSIC Bank has successfully been completed, managers have announced.
OmniBank Ghana Limited and Sahel Sahara Bank Ghana Limited resolved last year to merge in order to pull resources together to meet the 400 million-cedi new minimum capital requirement by the Bank of Ghana which took effect from December 31, 2018.
The merger, which was accepted by BoG in September last year, eventually saw the birth of OMNIBSIC Bank Ghana Limited in March 2019.
Managers announced at the time efforts were ongoing to achieve “seamless cultural integration” and capacity building to ensure that all staff were carried along to reach the vision of the new bank.
No job losses occurred as a result of the merger.
Nine months after, managers have held a fitness walk across the country to announce and celebrate the successful the completion of the operations of the two banks.
“Our merger is complete. In celebration of this important milestone, OmniBSIC Bank is staging this first nationwide Health and Fitness Walk, themed “At your service,” it said in a statement issued after the walk.
The walk, which was participated by staff and some customers of the bank, was to thank the customers for their loyalty during the merger process.
The statement explained that it was also geared towards increasing awareness of the new OmniBSIC brand while promoting a healthy lifestyle among all staff.
Managers of the bank also used the occasion to solicit feedback and support from the public, particularly their customers, with the view to becoming “the best bank in customer service delivery in Ghana”
