Protecting jobs and reputation starts with ethics – GAB President

Kwamina Asomaning is the President of the Ghana Association of Banks. He stressed the need for ongoing ethical training in banking. Bankers face constant pressures and must uphold trust.

Asomaning noted that banks have ethics programs in place. However, he believes more needs to be done to strengthen staff integrity.

He said, “All banks have ethics programs for their staff. But you can never have too much ethics.” He highlighted daily temptations and pressures from customers and family.

Ethical training should go beyond compliance requirements, he added. The integrity of the banking sector relies on this training.

Asomaning emphasized the importance of maintaining high moral standards. This is not just about following rules; it’s about protecting the industry’s reputation. It also safeguards jobs and maintains public trust.
