Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (“GTBank,” or “the Bank”), flagship subsidiary of Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc (GTCO), one of the largest financial services institutions in Africa, has been named Best Bank in Corporate Social Responsibility in Nigeria at the prestigious Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2024.
This recognition underscores GTCO’s unwavering commitment to excellence, going beyond offering innovative financial services and creating more value for its stakeholders to enriching lives and constantly exploring new opportunities to drive positive change in society.
Announcing the Award, Euromoney highlighted the range and
impact of GTCO’s CSR
initiatives spanning education, health, community development, and financial
inclusion. Over the years, Guaranty Trust has not only led with innovation and
service excellence, but also consistently demonstrated a steadfast dedication
to making a positive impact and creating shared value through CSR. Central to
these efforts are its consumer-focused
events—the GTCO Food and Drink Festival and the GTCO Fashion Weekend—both of
which offer free business platforms for budding as well as established entrepreneurs
to showcase their talents, share their unique stories, and connect with a
broader audience. The Annual GTCO Autism Programme, an offshoot of the Orange
Ribbon Initiative, aims to provide ongoing support for persons with
developmental disabilities, focusing on those with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD).

Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc, stated: “As
a Proudly African institution, we recognise that our success is inextricably
linked to the well-being of the society in which we operate. Our commitment to
corporate social responsibility is deeply rooted in our belief that businesses
must act as a force for good, driving sustainable progress, and fostering
inclusive growth. Over the years, we have successfully developed several
free-business platforms and continue to sponsor impactful social causes that
