The Sierra Leone Commercial Bank celebrated its 48th anniversary, though in low key due to the COVID-19 pandemic that emphasizes on social distancing, among other preventive measures.
The Managing Director of Sierra Leone Commercial Bank otherwise dubbed the ‘People’s Bank’, welcomed staff and visitors at the bank’s headquarters, Siaka Stevens Street on Monday 15th February, 2021.
SLCB Managing Director, Abdulai Fidelis Turay, congratulated staff of the various departments for the tremendous work done over the years in positioning the bank as the nation’s leading commercial bank.
Looking forward to a brighter future, he exhorted staff to keep up the good work and to remain focused.
Sierra Leone Commercial Bank holds the pride of place in the country’s banking sector.
Since 2016, SLCB has experienced phenomenal financial growth in the face of stiff competition and a fluid economic situation in the country and globally.
SLCB has seen a big jump in its customer base to over 250,000, with huge unrivalled growth in its assets, liabilities and turnover.
This is due to the introduction of a new state-of-the-art digital banking technology that has brought the bank to the doors of the previously unbanked in their communities.
No doubt, SLCB owes this incredible progress, to a well-trained and highly motivated human resource with the zest and ability to drive the bank forward, MD Abdulai Fidelis Turay, informed his audience.
