“Zenith Bank aims to meet customer needs through innovative digital banking solutions, including the newly launched Zenith Virtual Card and GhanaPay,” he added.

On his part, the Board Chairman of the bank, Mr Nimako, noted that despite the numerous challenges facing the banking sector this year, which had seen many banks recording declines in profitability, Zenith Bank had, however, recorded an increase.
