Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) Plc has seen an increase in transactions on internet and mobile banking platforms which was buoyed by the introduction of the Telco charge of N0.68 per successful USSD.
The uptick in successful USSD transactions resulted in increased adoption of other electronic banking platforms as the lender is using the latest technology to meet the demands of a young population who prefer to carry out transactions from the confines of their rooms.

The lender saw fees and commission income grow by 39.88 percent to N65.65 billion in December 2021 from N46.93 billion the previous year.
GTCO is committed to building a strong robust banking platform to drive financial services and accommodate the effects of disruptive technology in Nigeria.
To shrink the financial inclusion gap and ensure that banking service reaches people living in the rural areas, the lender evolved a leading innovation and disruption platform in the financial services market space through products like the USSD (737), Quick Credit for customers, GTWorld, GTMobile and a few others.
