Prudential Bank Limited, an indigenous Bank and MasterCard, a leading digital payment and collections enabler, have renewed their pledge to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and corporate institutions with innovative propositions to support their businesses.
This strategic collaboration was revealed when a delegation from Mastercard paid a courtesy call on the management of Prudential Bank at the Bank’s head office in Accra.
The engagement provided a platform for both institutions to align on strategic priorities for 2026 and explore deeper collaboration across Corporate Banking, SME, personal banking empowerment, and digital payments solutions.
Speaking at the meeting, Mastercard’s Country Director, Bossman Kwapong, emphasised the importance of understanding Prudential Bank’s vision for the year ahead.
“Prudential Bank remains a strategic partner to Mastercard. As the year begins, it is important to understand their needs and look at areas we can collaborate. This engagement allowed us to align on the Bank’s 2026 objectives and identify how we can support in bringing that vision to life,” he said.
Acting Managing Director of Prudential Bank, Ebow Quayson, reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to leveraging technology for customer benefit. He noted that the partnership with Mastercard would enable the Bank to deliver secure, convenient, and innovative payment solutions to its diverse clientele.
