Ecobank in Ghana

Ecobank Ghana PLC (Ecobank) was incorporated on January 9, 1989, as a private limited liability company under the Companies Code to engage in the business of banking. Ecobank was initially licensed to operate as a merchant bank, by the Bank of Ghana on November 10, 1989, and commenced business on February 19, 1990. In Ghana, Ecobank has grown consistently over the years to become one of the most-recognized financial services brands, providing its corporate, commercial and consumer banking customers with tailored products and services. Ecobank acquired a universal banking license in 2003 and was listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange in July 2006. The Bank has embarked on a strategic shift from a predominantly wholesale bank to a universal bank with 64 branches, numerous point-of-sale terminals and merchant QR codes in shops, with over 242 ATMs well distributed across the country.

The bank posted sterling financial performance at the close of 2024, with total asset size of GH¢46.0billion, shareholders’ funds of GH¢5.4billion, profit before tax of GH¢2.4billion and profit after tax of GH¢1.7billion. This resulted in a return on average equity (ROAE) of 38% and return on average assets (ROAA) of 4.3%.
