The Anlo Rural Bank Limited in the Anloga District of the Volta Region, has made a significant gain in the 2022 financial year.
The Bank recorded a profit growth of GH¢584,000.00 after tax in the year under review, compared to the GH¢469,000.00 and GH¢289,000.00 recorded in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Bank’s profit before tax also increased by 29.21 per cent over the previous year, which could be credited to optimise interest incomes and effective fee generation strategies.

Dr Kwasi Gbordzi, the Board Chairman of the Bank, said the feat was chalked due to robust financial performances, healthy capital adequacy, and this reflected their continuous focus on creating shareholder value and rewarding the trust and confidence of the people.
Mr Sylvester Atsu Bedzra, the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, told the Ghana News Agency, that the Bank had done significantly well by realising such profits and per their figures so far, 2023 would be another landmark year for the Bank.
