Access Bank (Ghana) Plc has strengthened its drive to become a leader in ethical and non-interest finance following its participation in a high-level executive study tour on non-interest banking, capital markets and Takaful (Islamic insurance) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The five-day programme, organised by the Islamic Finance Research Institute of Ghana (IFRIG) in collaboration with the Centre for Islamic Economics (CIE) at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), brought together regulators and financial sector leaders to study Malaysia's globally recognised ethical finance ecosystem and identify opportunities to advance financial inclusion in Ghana.

Participants received practical training in global best practices in non-interest banking, Sukuk (Islamic bonds), Takaful insurance, regulatory frameworks and financial innovation, while examining how ethical finance can support financial inclusion and sustainable economic development.
