Trust Bank Gambia Limited awarded customers, staff and former staff at a Silver Jubilee Gala commemorating 25 years of its Banking service in the country.
Present and former Staff, customers as well as well-wishers graced the bank’s Silver Jubilee in a colorful march past from the Arch 22 to its headquarters in Banjul.
The gala dinner was organised at a local hotel in Senegambia to honour and celebrate outstanding current staff, former staff and customers.
The Bank awarded Modou Lamin Sanyang as staff of the year, and awarded Pape Saine, co-founder of the Point Newspaper, Mustapha Njie, CEO of TAF Global and others, one of their most loyal customers.
Mrs. Njilan Senghore, Managing Director of Trust Bank said the 25th year anniversary marked a great day in the history of Trust Bank.
“As the Bank celebrates 25 years of existence, this is a significant milestone. Trust Bank is either the market leader or among the market leaders in this country. But the Bank is the undoubted leader in social corporate responsibilities. The Bank has supported numerous initiatives that transform the lives of people across the country,” she said.
The MD further stated that since establishment in October 1997, Trust Bank has experienced tremendous growth and that they have become a trusted partner in corporate and retail banking, and are providing technology-enabling banking solutions and services to their customers.
Meanwhile, Hon. Seedy Keita, Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs said Trust Bank’s performance since 1997 has been stellar.
“This is justified because we saw a publication from global Finance where the Bank emerged as the Best Bank in customer service for six consecutive years from 2003 to 2008, to the GCCI Banker of the year award for five years respectively in 2002, (2003), 2004, 2005 and 2010,” he said.
The Finance Minister added that the Bank is the only indigenous Bank in The Gambia listed on the Accra stock exchange marking the cross-listing of a financial institution in the Gambia for the first time.
