Delivering the keynote address, Managing Director and CEO of FirstBank Ghana, Mr. Victor Yaw Asante, described the commissioning as more than a branch opening saying “today, we are not just opening a banking hall, we are planting a seed for partnership, empowerment, and shared success in Northern Ghana. Tamale is the commercial heartbeat of the north, and our presence here reflects our belief that true national impact must include every key belt of the economy. We are here to walk side by side with the people of Tamale, supporting their aspirations and fueling growth that is both inclusive and sustainable”.

Mr Asante also emphasized that FirstBank’s presence in Tamale goes beyond financial transactions. “Banking is not about buildings, it is about people, partnership, and progress. This branch is a continuation of our trusted legacy, a pledge to serve with excellence, empower communities, and support inclusive growth not just in Tamale, but across the Northern Belt and beyond.”

Also present at the ceremony was, Ms. Rosie Ebe-Arthur, Non-Executive Director of FirstBank Ghana, who described the commissioning as a landmark moment for both FirstBank and Tamale. “It is both an honour and privilege to be here in this vibrant city for this historic occasion.

With this new branch, FirstBank Ghana is making a bold and lasting statement that we are here not only to do business, but to become a long-term development partner in the north,” Ms. Ebe-Arthur said.

She highlighted the critical role of banks in regional growth, noting that Tamale’s economic driver’s which include agriculture, trade, education, faith institutions, and the informal sector require intentional support from financial institutions. “This branch is not the end goal, it is a vehicle for lasting transformation.
