Bayport wraps up year-long 20th anniversary celebrations

…hosts customers and partners, rewards long-serving staff

Leading financial services provider Bayport Savings and Loans Plc has concluded activities marking its 20th anniversary with a dinner and awards ceremony to celebrate customers and partners, and to reward some long-serving staff. The colourful ceremony took place during last weekend in Accra.

The event also served as an occasion to reflect on the company’s legacy of delivering seamless payroll lending services to government workers, and offering comprehensive savings and investment solutions nationwide. Bayport Savings and Loans CEO, Mr. Akwasi Aboagye, in his brief address to shareholders and partners indicated that the company’s sustained growth has been achieved on the back of strong corporate values which focus on transparency, integrity, customer service, risk management and ethics throughout its evolution and digital transition.

CEO-Bayport Financial Services, Africa, Ms. Nothando Ndebele, in her brief remarks applauded the company’s leadership, staff and partners for steering growth of the business in a rather uncertain financial environment. A founding member of the company, Mr. Kwame Pianim, shared his excitement and optimism about the company’s continual growth over the last two decades, saying: “It’s very refreshing and rewarding when you are part of something that succeeds. I wish you 20 more years of success”.

Bayport marked its 20th-anniversary celebrations with several community impact activities, including financial literacy workshops in selected senior high schools across the country. The company also donated 200 dual-desks to Bolgatanga Model Preparatory Primary School in the Upper East Region and Nsein Methodist Primary School in the Western Region, as part of efforts to promote conducive learning in both schools.

The company’s staff also embarked on voluntary humanitarian initiatives to support underprivileged children at the Haven of Hope Foundation in Medie, Nsawam, and the Nectar Foundation at Krobo Odumase – all in the Eastern Region. They donated 30 laptops and essential supplies to both institutions, while Joshua Doku Korley – a student of the Nectar Foundation, received a full Bayport scholarship covering his four-year tertiary education in technology.

Some long-serving staff, having worked for the company between 15 to 20 years, were duly recognised and rewarded for their commitment and contributions to growth of the business over the last two decades.

Bayport’s mission is to facilitate the dreams of ordinary Ghanaians, and it has grown significantly since its foundation in 2003. The company serves over 180,000 customers across the country, providing funds for various life-needs such as education and healthcare. The company is highlighted as Ghana’s leading government employee payroll lender, with an over 20 percent market share.
