GCB, WE "SWERVE" YOU BETTER



Location:        Dzodze

The fourth week of the month is usually a special month for all national service personnel as allowances start hitting the accounts fast and hard. Anytime it was time for the collection of allowances, I was filled with a certain amount of anger. Reason being the bank I was going into. I have had several experiences at the hands of “bankers” but I need to be sincere that all my life, the worst “customer” services I have received has been from Ghana Commercial Bank, our own bank.
I entered the bank with my close buddy only to be met with a “crowd” of people.  First of all, we were greeted with a pungent smell. Clearly, the air-conditioner was not working. I wondered why. For a bank which “claims” to be 60 years old. Wow. Incredible. Amazing.
As I was saying, I enter the bank with a colleague and walk straight behind the counter. I observe that the manager is absent, maybe on an assignment because he is the one who normally attends to us. Luckily, we have another person attending to all service personnel. To cut a long story short, I walk in to present my allowance sheet. That is where I meet this huge man sitting in a chair. Realizing that I have no pen on me, I ask, “Sir, may I please use your pen?” Funny enough, he opens his mouth and tells me a big “no”. I just look at him and shake my big head. Then I go out and ask for a pen from my friend. Upon my return, I realize he has a “huge” face. That’s the kind of customer service Dzodze GCB offers us. Just look at this:
-          They don’t give envelopes when people come to take their monies.
-          Their customer service is nothing to write home about.
-          The bank is ALWAYS overcrowded.
A word to the wise is enough.
