Ghana Financial Itermediation Awards is and awards scheme meant to identify and publicly recognize the financial intermediation institutions that stand out from their peers across a wide range of aspects of their core activities – the taking of deposits and the giving of loans. This awards scheme is novel for the fact that it is the first time that industry leaders across the various genres of financial intermediation – commercial/universal banks, savings and loans companies, rural and community banks, micro-finance institutions and specialized finance houses – will be assessed as one holistic industry.
Ultimately the aim is to identify to best institutions to place savings and investments with, and the best institutions to secure loans and other forms of (non -securitized) credit finance from, thus serving as a guide for both depositors and borrowers.
Awards will be conferred across 50 different categories, through a comprehensive and credible selection process using a combination of quantitative and qualitative considerations, executed by our dedicated research consultants and our special awardees selection jury. The process involves nominations, due diligence and verification of the information contained therein, assessment, shortlisting and ultimately, deliberations by a special awardees selection jury comprising seven highly reputed financial intermediation experts and beneficiaries, with vast experience and skills in the industry as a whole.
