uniCredit Ghana Limited has taken a bold step to ensure that Ghanaian SMEs are free to focus on their businesses instead of worrying about sourcing funding for their growth and expansion.

The CEO of uniCredit Mr. Samuel Sakyi-Hyde gave this assurance during a media briefing at the Corporate Head Office of uniCredit at Ridge.

“We believe in supporting SMEs to deliver the much-needed growth in the economy, so we have set high targets for ourselves to partner them adequately for growth,” he noted.

He further assured that uniCredit will continue to build on key achievements in the year 2015 to ensure that the institution becomes the first choice for all SMEs when it comes to their banking needs.

Mr. Sakyi-Hyde hinted that by way of delivering convenience and improved service to its growing customer base, the institution has completed the test phase of its e-banking suite and will in the coming weeks launch it to its larger customers. He stated that the impending takeoff of its e-banking services will serve as a major milestone in the history of the institution and place uniCredit in a better position to do more for its customers.

General Manager, Mr. P. V Yeboah- Asiamah assured existing customers, prospective customers and the general public that uniCredit will continue to provide the appropriate mix of products and services in response to the changing customer demands and requirements while making sure to provide convenient, accessible and comfortable banking environments for quality service delivery.
