  • Communicating with Informal Sector Clients: a Study of Strategies Employed by Ghana Commercial Bank and Unibank Ghana Limited

Duncan Correspondence: Department of Communications Studies, Central University College, Ghana Received: April 22, 2015 Accepted: May 13, 2015 Online Published: January 22, 2016 doi:10.11114/smc.v4i1.1329 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11114/smc.v4i1.1329 Abstract Even though theoretical evidence exists that tells of the need for effective communication between banks and their informal sector clients, little seems to be understood about the exact nature of communication between the two. Guided by the two-way symmetrical model and the communication accommodation theory this study set out to identify the communication strategies used by Ghana Commercial Bank and Unibank Ghana Limited in communicating with their informal sector clients in building mutually beneficial relationships. The objective was to identify and describe the specific communication strategies used by Ghana Commercial Bank and Unibank Ghana Limited to communicate with those clients. The study employed the in-depth interview method in gathering data as well as documentary analysis. The study found that the communication strategies employed by the two banks included using relationship managers as well as employing the technique of code-switching or using languages the client understood when communicating with the informal sector clients.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHES NEW INDIGENOUS BANK; BANK OF GHANA REVOKES LICENCES OF FIVE BANKS AND APPOINTS RECEIVER IN RESPECT OF THEIR ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The Bank of Ghana today has granted a universal banking licence to Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited established by the Government. The Bank of Ghana has also today revoked the licences of uniBank Ghana Limited, The Royal Bank Limited, Beige Bank Limited, Sovereign Bank Limited, and Construction Bank Limited and has appointed Mr. Nii Amanor Dodoo of KPMG as the Receiver for the five banks. All deposits of the five banks are safe and have been transferred to the Consolidated Bank. Customers can carry out their business as usual at their respective banks which will now become branches of the Consolidated Bank. All staff of these banks will become staff of the Consolidated Bank. Boards of Directors and shareholders of these banks no longer have any roles. Ghana needs a strong and stable banking sector to drive the process of economic transformation. A weak banking sector means that access to credit will be limited while lending rates will continue to be high. The Bank of Ghana is mandated by law to promote the safety, soundness, and stability of the financial system and to protect the interests of depositors. In this context, the Bank has over the last year rolled out measures to strengthen the financial system to protect the interests of depositors however, a number of legacy problems have plagued the banking sector including macroeconomic factors, poor corporate governance and risk management practices, related party transactions that were not above board, regulatory non-compliance, and poor supervision, (questionable licensing processes and weak enforcement) leading to a significant build-up of vulnerabilities in the sector.
