Standard Chartered educates its Valued Customers on E-zwich
Accra, May 16, 2008 - Over 200 professionals have benefited from Standard Chartered’s Customer Awareness Forum on E-zwich which came off on Wednesday, 15 May 2008 at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
The Bank organized this event to educate its valued customers and the general public about the newly introduced National switch and electronic payment system, E-Zwich, rolled out by the Bank of Ghana a few weeks ago.
The interactive forum provided an opportunity for participants to gain a deeper appreciation of all the concepts under the E-Zwich smart card and how it complements existing banking services and operations in Ghana. The presentation touched on various workstreams including the Bank’s E-zwich platform capabilities, the functions of the E-Zwich smartcard, the registration process and the benefits to the Cardholder.
The participants including customers, media personnel and the general public took advantage of the interactive nature of the event to ask questions in relation to the operation of the system and its impact on businesses in Ghana. These concerns and questions were expertly handled by officials from the Bank and some Ghana Interbank Payment and Settlement Company (GHIPSS) officials.
Commenting, Ebenezer Essoka, CEO Standard Chartered West & Central Africa, says: “As the pioneer Bank in Ghana, we will continue to position ourselves as the key strategic partner to the regulator, structuring initiatives to meet the dynamics of this exciting population and leveraging on our group network to migrate best practices to support sustainable development. Through this initiative and many other efforts we have undertaken, we will to be the right partner, leading by example as the best international bank in Ghana.”
