FBNBank has launched an exciting offer Akye Promotion dubbed ‘Akye Deposit and Win Promotion’ as a means of offering customers variety, excitement, and rewards which was attended by customers, clients, staff and management of the Bank.

The Akye Deposit and Win Promotion, stylised as ‘Akye Promotion’ is a play on the local word ‘Akye’ which represents excitement, success and winning. The name was adopted by the Bank as the name for the campaign due to its popularity as a commonly used slang and also because it is often used as a catchphrase by renowned music artiste, Samini who is the Brand Ambassador of the Bank and also doubles as the face of the promo.

The prize-packed promotion which will be running for the next six-months will entail two draws with the first being in December 2023 to reward lucky customers who have qualified within the period of the promotion.

Customers who are qualified stand chance of winning Soundbars, Smart TVs, Cookers, Washing Machines, Air Conditioners and other exciting prizes. The second draw which is also the grand draw is scheduled for April 2024 and will see lucky customers going home with a mega prize pack of a Cooker, Washing Machine, Smart TV and a Freezer.

New Accounts Permittedto Participate in the Promotion

Customers including new account holders who wish to participate in the promotion, simply have to open a savings or current account with a minimum deposit of GHS500.00 and the money will be placed in a special account which will earn the customer a 5 percent interest rate per annum, over the promotion period.

Customers must also note that among the terms and conditions of the promotion, there must be no withdrawals from the account over the course of the promotion so as to stand the chance of winning prizes in the two draws.

Head of Retail Banking at FBNBank, Mr. Allen Quaye underscored the relevance of the promotion as a means of driving loyalty, awareness, and deposit mobilisation but more importantly as a medium to reward existing, new and potential customers of the Bank.

“With the promotion, the Bank is looking to add new customers to join the happy family of FBNBank, where they will enjoy a bouquet of services ranging from sound financial advice, attractive interest rates on deposits, tailored customer products and services and last but not the least, superior customer service.”

Mr. Allen Quaye

The ‘Akye Promotion’ will run on the National Lottery Authority’s (NLA) Caritas platform.

Commenting on the promotion, the MD/CEO of FBNBank Ghana, Mr. Victor Yaw Asante encouraged customers of the Bank to take advantage of the promotion to reward themselves with the amazing prizes up for grabs.

Mr. Asante highlighted the Bank’s commitment in offering variety and excitement especially on the back of the successful ‘To Qatar We Go Promotion’ organised by the Bank which sent three lucky customers to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar last year with several other customers winning fantastic prizes. With this background, he reemphasised the Bank’s commitment of placing the customer first.

CalBank Profit Soars 25% to GHS353.6 Million in Strong First Half Performance CalBank PLC has delivered an impressive financial performance for the first half of 2026, posting a remarkable 25 percent increase in Profit Before Tax (PBT) to GHS353.6 million. The outstanding results highlight the bank's successful strategic transformation and underline its growing strength as one of Ghana's leading financial institutions. The latest figures show that Profit Before Tax climbed from GHS283.2 million in the corresponding period of 2025 to GHS353.6 million, driven by robust growth across the bank's core business operations. The performance reflects improvements in lending, customer deposits, fee based services, trading income, and overall operational efficiency. Unlike previous periods where earnings were significantly supported by impairment recoveries, CalBank's latest results demonstrate that its profitability is now being powered largely by the strength of its underlying banking business. Core Banking Business Drives Exceptional Earnings One of the biggest highlights of the first half performance was the remarkable growth in net interest income, which surged by 83 percent to GHS347.5 million. The increase came despite a relatively lower interest rate environment. Interest income rose from GHS399 million to GHS451.5 million as the bank continued expanding its earning assets. At the same time, funding costs fell sharply, with interest expenses dropping from GHS209 million to GHS104 million. This significant reduction in funding costs improved the bank's profitability and demonstrated stronger balance sheet management. CalBank also recorded exceptional growth from non interest income sources as it continued diversifying its revenue streams. Net fees, commissions, and trading income almost doubled, rising by 99 percent to GHS323.3 million from GHS162.7 million during the same period last year. The strong performance reflects increased customer activity across the bank's retail, commercial, and corporate banking segments. The diversified earnings profile places CalBank in a stronger position to withstand changing market conditions while maintaining sustainable profitability. Stronger Earnings Quality Boosts Investor Confidence Perhaps the most significant aspect of CalBank's results is the improved quality of its earnings. During the first half of 2025, impairment recoveries contributed approximately GHS154 million to profits. However, in the latest reporting period, impairment gains accounted for only GHS7 million. This means the overwhelming majority of profits were generated through normal banking operations rather than one off recoveries. The shift highlights the success of management's transformation strategy and provides greater confidence that future earnings will remain sustainable. Industry analysts often view recurring operating income as a stronger indicator of long term financial health than exceptional gains. Assets and Deposits Record Strong Expansion CalBank also recorded significant growth in its balance sheet during the period. Total assets expanded by 30 percent to GHS13.9 billion from GHS10.7 billion recorded at the end of June 2025. Customer deposits increased by the same margin, rising to GHS10.9 billion. The growth in deposits reflects increasing customer confidence in the bank's brand, improved service delivery, and expanding retail and commercial banking operations. Higher deposits also provide the bank with a stable funding base to support future lending and business expansion. The figures reinforce CalBank's growing position within Ghana's competitive banking industry. Bad Loans Decline Dramatically One of the most remarkable achievements during the first half of the year was the dramatic improvement in asset quality. The bank's Non Performing Loan ratio dropped sharply to 10.10 percent from an exceptionally high 51.60 percent recorded at the end of June 2025. The improvement reflects the successful execution of CalBank's balance sheet remediation programme and disciplined credit risk management practices. A healthier loan portfolio reduces future credit losses while creating additional room for prudent loan growth. The significant decline in bad loans also strengthens investor confidence and enhances the bank's overall financial stability. Capital Position Strengthens After Recapitalisation Following its successful recapitalisation in 2025, CalBank has continued strengthening its financial foundation. Its Capital Adequacy Ratio improved dramatically to 18.17 percent from a negative 7.6 percent recorded a year earlier. The turnaround highlights the success of the bank's recapitalisation efforts and demonstrates its renewed financial resilience. Strong liquidity levels further position the bank to support customers, finance new business opportunities, and meet future regulatory requirements with confidence. The improved capital position also creates greater flexibility for expansion while protecting shareholders against unexpected financial shocks. Management Confident of Even Better Results Commenting on the results, Managing Director Carl Selasi Asem described the first half performance as clear evidence that CalBank's transformation strategy is producing sustainable financial outcomes. He said the bank had achieved strong growth across its core businesses while improving funding efficiency, strengthening profitability, enhancing asset quality, reinforcing its capital base, and expanding its balance sheet. Mr. Asem stressed that the latest earnings were driven by the strength of the bank's underlying operations rather than one time recoveries, reinforcing the quality and sustainability of the results. Looking ahead, he expressed confidence that the momentum built during the first half would enable CalBank to deliver an even stronger performance during the remainder of 2026. Management says the bank remains committed to disciplined execution of its strategic priorities, strengthening customer relationships, maintaining prudent risk management, and creating sustainable long term value for shareholders. CalBank's Transformation Continues to Deliver CalBank's latest financial performance paints the picture of a bank that has successfully rebuilt its foundations and is entering a new phase of sustainable growth. With rising profits, stronger capital, expanding customer deposits, healthier assets, and significantly lower bad loans, the bank appears well positioned to compete aggressively within Ghana's banking sector. As economic conditions continue to improve, CalBank's focus on operational excellence and disciplined execution could make 2026 one of the strongest years in the institution's recent history.
