Ezi Savings and Loans Limited has opened its Newtown branch with the aim of providing micro finances to meet the needs of small-scale businesses within its catchment area.
The branch, which is the eighth since its operations in 1996, is to bring banking solutions to the doorsteps of the people of Newtown and its environs.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Managing Director of the company, Mr Jonathan Sam, said the company saw the need to operate in the area after recognising that members of the community were not active bankers.
He said that most of the businesses in the community were small-scale enterprises and needed financial support from financial institutions to grow.
Mr Sam said “the traditional banks were not offering loans to the small-scale businesses and we saw the need to step in to provide such supports for them”.
He outlined ezi investment plan, ezi build up, ezi susu, ezi kids, ezi current accounts, ezi loan product and ezi save as some of the services the company will be providing.
Giving a brief history of the company, Mr Sam said the company was established in 1996 as a non-bank financial institution under the name Johnson Savings and Loans Company Limited.
He said the company saw the need to restructure and recapitalise to boost their operations to satisfy customers with the best services.
Mr Sam said the company had grown over the years with an increase in staff from 17 to 140.
The Chief Executive Officer of Click Global Communications, Mr Isaac Frimpong Ampofo, said the company sought to bridge the gap between customers and the institution by providing unique and convenient banking services with innovative tailor-made products.
He said the company had the aim of bringing quality customer services to the doorsteps of its customers and therefore advised members of the Newtown community to purchase the services provided by the company.
The Assembly member for the area, Hajia Damata, expressed her profound gratitude to the company for bringing banking services to their doorsteps and hoped it would provide employment opportunities for the youth in the community.
She was also of the hope that women in the community would be supported with loans to finance their businesses.
