The Board of Directors, Management and Staff of the Sierra Leone Commercial Bank (SLCB) are currently rejoicing for another marked achievement. Indeed, it goes without saying that there is nothing good, dedicated, visionary organizational leadership cannot achieve.
The Bank, led by a competent, very highly productive Managing Director, Fidelis Turay and Deputy Managing Director, Bockarie Kalokoh driven by a team of dedicated senior management staff and a very supportive Chairman and Board of Directors, has enviably topped the Bank of Sierra Leone’s commercial banks performance chart for twelve consecutive quarters (4 years).
Driven by a burning desire to not only stay at peak performance but to always exceed their best, SLCB continues to grow from strength to strength each year and exceeding the previous year’s income and profit margin.
Sources from BSL and the Ministry of Finance have intimated that SLCB’s 2019 annual balance sheet statement shows that the bank made the highest in profits in the country – making it the most successful commercial bank in the country.
In its steady upward growth trajectory, in 2018 SLCB made pretax profit of Le79.5 billion which Management noted was achieved in the face of fierce industry competition and a sluggish economy.
Voted in 2017 as the Best Financial Institution in the country by All Walks Of Life, SLCB is the only bank with customer deposit exceeding Le1.1 trillion.
As such, SLCB stands tall proudly as a glittering symbol of banking excellence achieved by an all Sierra Leonean staff.
Meanwhile, SLCB offers a wide range of banking products that meet the satisfaction of both corporate and ordinary everyday customers looking for reliability, speed and ease in transaction of their businesses.
