Guaranty Trust Bank (Ghana) Ltd. was registered in Ghana in October 2004 and obtained its universal banking license from the Bank of Ghana on 23rd February, 2006, thereby paving the way for the commencement of operations.

The Bank is a subsidiary of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, one of the foremost banks in Nigeria; the first indigenously owned sub-Saharan bank to be quoted on the London Stock Exchange. In 2008, GTBank Plc became the first new generation indigenous African bank to obtain a banking license to carry out fully fledged commercial banking activities in the United Kingdom.

Due to its consistency in building a strong, profitable and respectable brand in Ghana, GTBank within the 14 years of its operations in the country, has grown to become a reference point for good business practice and a role model in the financial services industry.
