In a spirited celebration of Customer Service Month, Fidelity Bank Ghana went beyond conventional approaches to engage its valued customers with a fun, interactive trivia challenge.
The bank dedicated the month of October to appreciating its customers and creating memorable experiences that strengthened customer loyalty. Through daily trivia challenges on social media, Fidelity Bank captured the attention of customers, offering them not only the chance to win prizes but also to deepen their understanding of the bank’s products and services. This initiative forms part of Fidelity Bank’s broader commitment to excellence in customer engagement and satisfaction.
Customer Service Week is typically celebrated during the first week of October worldwide. However, Fidelity Bank took a step further, transforming the annual event into a month-long celebration for its customers. The goal was clear: to reinforce the bank’s promise to go “Above and Beyond” in delivering customer satisfaction. By extending the celebrations, Fidelity Bank demonstrated its dedication to creating lasting connections with customers through activities that combined entertainment, education, and rewards.
One of the highlights of the month-long event was the daily trivia challenge hosted across Fidelity Bank’s social media platforms. Customers were invited to participate by answering two questions each day, testing their knowledge of the bank’s offerings, values, and service history.
This interactive game not only allowed customers to learn more about the bank, but it also sparked healthy competition and engagement. The trivia challenge brought thousands of customers into the celebration, allowing them to actively take part in Customer Service Month while enhancing their understanding of the bank’s products and services.
Rewards and Recognition
As an added incentive, the bank rewarded winners of the trivia challenge with GHS 500 gift vouchers for each correct answer. This gesture underscored Fidelity Bank’s commitment to rewarding customer loyalty and engagement in meaningful ways. By offering these rewards, the bank provided its customers with an experience that went beyond standard banking services, reinforcing the bank’s position as a customer-focused institution.
Mr Julian Opuni, Managing Director of Fidelity Bank, highlighted the significance of such engaging initiatives in fostering strong relationships with customers. “At Fidelity Bank, we believe that building connections with our customers goes beyond transactions. By creating opportunities for our customers to participate in fun and engaging activities, we not only show our appreciation but also make banking with us a more enjoyable experience,” he said.
Beyond the trivia challenge, Fidelity Bank incorporated a wellness initiative into Customer Service Month, offering free breast cancer ultrasound screenings at eight branches nationwide. This initiative was part of the bank’s commitment to its Pinktober campaign, a month dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and promoting health among its customers. The screenings were available in selected branches across Accra, Tamale, Tema, and Takoradi, making it accessible to customers in various parts of the country.
Mr Opuni emphasized the importance of customer well-being in the bank’s broader service mission. “By offering these ultrasound screenings, we are directly contributing to early detection and prevention efforts, which are critical in the fight against breast cancer. This is just one of the ways we are going ‘Above and Beyond’ for our customers,” he explained. This integration of health and customer appreciation reflects Fidelity Bank’s holistic approach to customer service, focusing on both their financial and personal well-being.
The celebration extended beyond customer-facing initiatives; Fidelity Bank also took the opportunity to honor its employees who exemplified exceptional service. A virtual Service Forum and Awards Ceremony was held to recognize outstanding customer service officers, departments, and branches within the organization. This internal recognition underscored Fidelity Bank’s commitment to delivering a high standard of service, which begins with acknowledging the efforts of its dedicated staff.
The event, which honored top-performing tellers, customer service officers, and branches, demonstrated that Fidelity Bank understands the importance of valuing its team. According to Mr Opuni, “At Fidelity Bank, we believe that outstanding customer service starts from within.”
“Recognizing the efforts of our exceptional team members is key to ensuring that our customers receive the best possible experience. This event serves not only as a moment of celebration but also as a reminder that excellent service should be our everyday standard.”

As Customer Service Month came to a close, Opuni reflected on the success of the initiative, emphasizing the bank’s commitment to nurturing customer relationships.
“This month has shown us that when you put customers at the heart of your operations, they respond with loyalty and trust. We have always been proud of the service we provide, but this October, we set a new benchmark. By going above and beyond, we hope to inspire lasting relationships with our customers that go beyond banking.”
