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 on behalf of the bank, Madam Esther Agyemang Prempeh, Head of Corporate Banking at NIB, emphasized that true empowerment encompasses both financial awareness and access to banking services.

According to the bank, financial literacy isn’t about complex theories, but rather practical, everyday skills. “We are talking about how we manage our income, plan for school fees, prepare for emergencies and retire with dignity,” Madam Prempeh urged participants.

NIB highlighted that even seemingly small financial decisions made today can have a significant impact in the future, 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.

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

To demonstrate its commitment to supporting women, NIB revealed the establishment of a dedicated Women’s Banking Department across all its branches nationwide.

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

The bank expressed its eagerness to collaborate with POLAS, offering financial education and banking solutions designed to support the association’s long-term objectives.

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