The National Investment Bank (NIB) has reiterated its dedication to enhancing financial literacy and inclusion among members of the Ghana Police Ladies Association (POLAS), following the successful launch of the association’s Greater Accra Regional Chapters.

Speaking at an event held for POLAS members, Esther Agyemang Prempeh, Head of Corporate Banking at NIB, emphasized that true empowerment encompasses both financial awareness and access to banking services.

“When we talk about financial literacy, we are referring to practical, everyday matters,” Ms. Prempeh stated. “How do we manage our income, plan for school fees, prepare for unforeseen emergencies, and ultimately, retire with dignity?”

NIB highlighted that even seemingly small financial decisions made today can have significant long-term consequences, particularly for women serving in the security services.

The bank also underscored the importance of financial inclusion, defining it as ensuring that safe and affordable financial services are available to everyone, irrespective of their rank or income level.

“Financial inclusion simply means making sure all individuals have access to simple, safe, and affordable financial services,” she added.

Demonstrating its commitment to supporting women, NIB has established a dedicated Women’s Banking Department at all its branches nationwide.

“We have a Women’s Banking Desk in each of our branches to provide tailored solutions, advisory services, and convenient access to financing for women-led initiatives and associations like POLAS,” NIB explained.

The bank expressed its eagerness to collaborate with the Police Ladies Association, offering financial education and banking solutions designed to support their long-term objectives.

“We look forward to partnering with the Police Ladies Association to promote financial literacy and inclusion,” Ms. Esther Agyemang Prempeh concluded.
