How to open a GCB bank account online

Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) is Africa’s most welcoming bank, offering accessible financial support wherever it’s needed through helpful service and expert solutions to their cherished customers.

In 1957, when Ghana attained independence, Bank of Ghana was established as the Central Bank while the Bank of the Gold Coast was renamed Ghana Commercial Bank to focus solely on commercial banking services. Since then GCB branches have been opened across the length and breadth of the nation tapping the potential of all the regions that make Ghana.

They have consistently grown and demonstrated commitment to Ghana over the last six decades and they continue to do so in the achievements they make and in the positive difference they bring to people’s lives.
