While it may be a struggle to meet up with fintechs, Guaranty Trust Bank, GTBank, properly known as GTCO, is indeed ahead of most Nigerian legacy banks.
The bank is in the good books of Nigerians in Freelanews What’s Trending, FWT, as accolades continue to pour in for the innovative financial solution in ATM cards printing.
The service, which seems to have been in existence at some selected GTBank branches across Nigeria since 2021, enables the bank’s customers request and print new debit cards without having to step into the banking hall.
This is a big relief considering the magnitude of customers approaching the bank daily for one financial service or the other as it will help in cutting down the nightmarish queues in the bank everyday.
In response, Nigerians have took to their micro blogging handles to comment on the service.

The Miriam Olusanya-led bank was listed as Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc’s (“GTCO Plc”) on the Nigerian Exchange in 2021 following the completion of all regulatory requirements for the corporate reorganization of the leading financial institution into a holding company structure and the listing of GTCO Plc, on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Limited and the London Stock Exchange, replacing Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.
Guaranty Trust was first listed on the Nigerian Exchange in 1997, winning the “Nigerian Stock Exchange President’s Merit Award” within months of its listing.
In 2007, it became the first Nigerian bank to list on London Stock Exchange, the first to dual list on an international exchange and the first Nigerian company to raise international capital using listed Global Depositary Receipts.
As part of its long-term growth strategy, Guaranty Trust has now adopted a holding company structure wherein GTCO Plc will operate as the parent company of all Guaranty Trust banking businesses across Africa and the United Kingdom as well as other non-banking businesses which will be established following the transition.
