First Atlantic Bank, a leading force in Ghana’s banking sector, has once again solidified its position as a trailblazer in digital banking, securing five prestigious awards at the recently concluded Fintech Awards.

Among the accolades was the highly coveted Digital Bank of the Year title, which the bank proudly retained for the second consecutive year. This remarkable achievement reaffirmed First Atlantic Bank’s commitment to innovation, customer-centric solutions, and industry leadership.

To celebrate this extraordinary feat, First Atlantic Bank hosted an exclusive cocktail event on March 7, 2025, bringing together loyal customers, key industry players, and staff.

Held at a premium location in Accra, the event served as a heartfelt expression of gratitude to the bank’s valued clients, whose trust and patronage have fueled its continued success.

Attendees enjoyed an evening filled with good music, food, and networking opportunities—all set against a backdrop of appreciation and celebration.

In addition to winning Digital Bank of the Year, First Atlantic Bank also took home four other awards: Mobile App of the Year (FAB Mobile), Innovative Product of the Year (Corporate Internet Banking), Fintech Bank Partnership of the Year, and CIO of the Year, awarded to the bank’s Chief Information Officer, Franklin Johnson Gbedzi.

These accolades highlighted the bank’s relentless pursuit of excellence in digital transformation and its role in shaping the future of financial services in Ghana.

Over the past year, First Atlantic Bank has introduced innovative digital banking solutions, including micro loans for Mobile Money (MoMo) agents, designed to enhance customer experience and improve accessibility.

From the seamless functionality of the FAB Mobile app to the robust capabilities of Corporate Internet Banking, the bank has continually set new benchmarks in financial technology. Its strategic fintech collaborations have also played a pivotal role in fostering innovation and expanding digital financial inclusion.

In his message of appreciation, Armah Amarquaye, Board Chairman of First Atlantic Bank, said, “One of our strategic goals has been to become the premier digital banking outfit in Ghana, and I am glad to say that this has been demonstrated with the outcome of the awards, quite ahead of time.”

The celebration was more than just a night of revelry—it was a testament to the bank’s journey of digital evolution, a reaffirmation of its dedication to customer satisfaction, and a toast to an even brighter future.

With distinguished guests, inspiring speeches, and an atmosphere of gratitude, the March 7 celebration marked a defining moment in First Atlantic Bank’s legacy of excellence.

‘Side chick’ sues top bank official over breach of contract; demands cash, car as compensation https://www.adomonline.com/side-chick-sues-top-bank-official-over-breach-of-contract-demands-cash-car-as-compensation/ Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:32:51 +0000 https://www.adomonline.com/?p=2208347 Former National Service Person for First Atlantic Bank, Deborah Seyram Adablah, has sued the Bank and her former boss, Chief Finance Officer, Ernest Kwasi Nimako, who she claims was her alleged ‘Sugar Daddy’ during the one-year period of her National Service.

In a writ of summons which has since gone viral on social media, she alleges that she succumbed to the relationship to keep her job since other ladies who ignored sexual advances of managers at First Atlantic Bank had uncomfortable working environments.

She further alleged that most ladies working in the bank are made to make sexual advances towards rich clients in order for them to open accounts with the Bank. According to her, though it is worrying, the management looks on unconcerned like it is a norm.

In the writ, Ms Adablah said towards the end of her National Service, Mr Nimako asked her to reject a contract offer from the bank with the agreement that he will take care of her basic needs including her rent and monthly allowances.

However, their relationship suffered some differences in July 2022 when the first defendant Ernest Kwasi Nimako decided to stop paying her rent and also providing other benefits he promised her.

She added that, their relationship increasingly became frosty after Mr Nimako requested ‘unnatural carnal knowledge’ from her, and she vehemently refused on several occasions, which led their differences to widen.

The writ continues to point out that, Mr Nimako purchased a Honda Civic with registration GC-7899-21 for his mistress but eventually wanted the car back, hence activated a remote engine lock which nearly caused the life of Ms Adablah.

The writ also pointed out that, she was put on a family planning method when Mr Nimako allegedly promised to marry her assuring her of a divorce since his marriage had broken beyond redemption.

She is, therefore, asking the court to make Mr Nimako transfer the title of car registered GC-7899-21 to her name and also refund the cost of repair for her car which is GH₵ 10,000.

She is also demanding a lump sum to help her start a business to take care of herself.

Ms Adablah is also seeking payment of arrears of her monthly allowance from July 2022 and arrears of her apartment at Labadi, a popular suburb in Accra.

Mr Nimako is yet to publicly respond to the allegations which have been widely circulated on social media.

“Indeed in May 2019, when we commissioned the Rebecca Akufo-Addo Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, I noticed many visitors sitting under trees and other uncomfortable places.

“It was quite obvious to me that Korle Bu needed a decent waiting area for the Emergency wards to provide comfort, safety, peace of mind, and protection against adverse weather conditions,” she recounted.

The project, which is in accordance with its Corporate Social Responsibility, is a 150-seater capacity fitted with washrooms and other auxiliary facilities, including banking solutions.
