Absa Bank Ghana Limited has officially launched its 2025 Customer Service Week, reaffirming its unwavering commitment to enhancing customer experience through practical service improvements, customer appreciation activities, and colleague engagement initiatives across its national network.
Themed “Mission Possible: Empowering Customers through Teamwork and Innovation,” this year’s celebration captures Absa’s renewed focus on making banking faster, simpler, and more customer-centric. The bank is setting out to strengthen the trust and satisfaction of its customers through consistent service delivery that meets the evolving expectations of the modern Ghanaian banking public.
Speaking at the launch, Evelyn Aquah, Chief Customer Officer of Absa Bank Ghana, emphasized that customer service excellence is not just a one-week event for the bank, but a continuous journey rooted in the organization’s culture.
“Customer service is not an event for us. It is how we serve customers every day. This week, we are highlighting three priorities our customers care about most: being able to reach us easily, getting clear updates on the status of requests, and experiencing quicker resolutions. Our teams across Contact Centre, branches, and digital channels are aligned to deliver these outcomes consistently.”

This approach underscores Absa’s philosophy that exceptional service delivery must go hand in hand with innovation and teamwork. The bank’s emphasis on consistent communication, timely feedback, and transparent processes aims to set a new benchmark for customer satisfaction within Ghana’s banking industry.
Innovations and Activities to Enhance Customer Experience
Throughout the week-long celebration, Absa is introducing a mix of initiatives designed to show appreciation to its customers while improving service accessibility. Among the highlights are:
- Free Mobitab (POS) setup for SME customers, aimed at helping small and medium enterprises process digital payments more efficiently.
- Extended support windows for high-volume service channels to reduce waiting times and increase responsiveness.
- Customer appreciation events across branches to thank loyal clients for their continued partnership.
- Digital education sessions, empowering customers to easily navigate self-service platforms and complete common banking tasks independently.
These initiatives demonstrate Absa’s practical approach to solving real customer challenges while also reinforcing the bank’s digital transformation agenda.
In a statement during the launch, Dr. Edward Nartey Botchway, Managing Director of Absa Bank Ghana Limited, reiterated the bank’s purpose-driven commitment to empowering customers and improving their banking journey.
“Our purpose is to empower our customers to bring their possibilities to life. The most meaningful way to do that is by making banking dependable and easy to navigate. Customer Service Week is a reminder of the standard we owe our customers every day. We will continue to invest in the systems, skills, and teamwork that make service reliable.”

Under his leadership, Absa Bank has continued to make significant strides in strengthening its service architecture, ensuring that both digital and in-person channels deliver convenience and reliability.
Building a Culture of Service
A key part of Absa’s Customer Service Week 2025 is focused on empowering employees to take full ownership of customer satisfaction. Colleagues across departments are participating in refresher sessions on complaint handling, effective communication, and end-to-end ownership of service requests.
These internal training sessions are designed to ensure that every employee — whether in the Contact Centre, at a branch, or in a digital support role — embodies the bank’s core values of professionalism, empathy, and accountability.
Absa believes that a motivated and well-trained team forms the foundation of exceptional service delivery. By reinforcing this culture, the bank is ensuring that its promise of “banking made easy” translates into real experiences for customers every day.
Encouraging Feedback for Continuous Improvement
As part of the celebrations, Absa is also inviting customers to share feedback through its multiple communication channels — including the Contact Centre, Absa Mobile App, social media platforms, and physical branches. The insights gathered during the week will help the bank shape future service enhancements and product innovations.
This open-door feedback policy reflects Absa’s customer-first philosophy and its dedication to co-creating better banking experiences with its clients.
Customer Service Week 2025 represents more than a celebration for Absa Bank Ghana; it is a reaffirmation of the bank’s enduring commitment to partnership, innovation, and trust. By combining appreciation, technological improvement, and employee empowerment, Absa continues to demonstrate leadership in customer experience within the Ghanaian banking landscape.
As the week unfolds, customers can look forward to a range of engaging experiences and practical improvements designed to make banking more responsive and reliable. For Absa, the message is clear — great service is not a promise for the future; it is a standard for today.
Absa Bank Ghana’s celebration of Customer Service Week 2025 sets a powerful tone for the industry — one that prioritizes customer empowerment through teamwork, digital innovation, and genuine appreciation. With its blend of service enhancements, leadership vision, and employee engagement, the bank is not only celebrating its customers but also redefining what excellent service means in modern banking.
