Oceanic Bank has closed down its outlet in The Gambia, citing inability to meet capital requirements of 150 million dalasi (about US$ 5.6 million), the Head, Corporate Communications of Oceanic Bank in The Gambia, Thomas Kojo Quayson, told PANA.
Quayson said that the Bank headquarters in Nigeria could no longer subsidize its foreign branches, and as a result are returning deposited monies to customers.
Oceanic Bank Gambia Limited failed to meet the end-of-year deadline requirement of the Central Bank of The Gambia (CBG) to raise capital, opting for voluntary liquidation.
However, Quayson said the Bank was not distressed and that their entire customers would receive their monies safely without any constraints.
