He said the Kasoa Branch in the Ewutu-Efutu Senya District of the Central Region was almost ready. All the branches are networked and linked to its network platform.

"Apart from over-the-counter transactions, customers and non-customers can also use the GCB Xpress Money Transfer to move funds across the country-online since funds can be transferred at one branch of the Bank and collected at another branch," he said.
