SEC revokes Zenith Bank Ghana’s trustee license 

Zenith Bank Ghana Limited has had its licence as a trustee revoked by the country’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), following the bank’s voluntary request to cease operations.

 In a public notice issued on Wednesday, the SEC said it had “approved the voluntary cessation of business” of the bank, adding that Zenith is “no longer mandated to carry out any Trustee activities within the securities industry”.

The SEC also sought to reassure investors, market operators and the public, saying it is “committed to ensuring rigorous enforcement of all the rules for operators in the capital market in order to promote the growth and development of an efficient, fair and transparent securities market in which investors and the integrity of the market are protected”.

Zenith Bank Ghana is a subsidiary of Zenith Bank Plc, one of Nigeria’s largest banks by assets and capital. 

The bank has been present in Ghana since 2007, providing a range of banking and financial services to individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and corporate customers.

It is not clear what led to Zenith’s decision to cease operations as a trustee in Ghana, or what impact the move will have on the bank’s ongoing operations. The bank and the SEC both declined to comment on the matter.
