Failure to meet capital requirement by Bank of Ghana by December 31 may result in sanctions – Apex Bank

Mr Curtis William Brantuo, Acting Managing Director of the ARB Apex Bank PLC has cautioned Community Banks across the country to comply with the Bank of Ghana deadline for the minimum paid-up capital requirement of five million Cedis to avoid sanctions.He stated that the paid-up capital of the Bank increased from GH¢5,684,470 in 2024 to GH¢6, 292,833 in 2025, saying though the Bank had met the regulatory minimum capital of GH¢5 million, shareholders were encouraged to continue to invest more to make more resources available for expansion and also to meet any future increase in the regulatory minimum paid-up capital by the Bank of Ghana.Mr Brantuo stated that the bank’s outstanding 2025 performance positioned it strongly to attract stakeholders confidence for capital strengthening, and commended it for making significant increase in minimum capital requirement across all the financial indicators, and achieving above the mandatory threshold, before the deadline.
