Stanbic’s International Account, for example, is a one-stop shop that suffices for all other types of accounts an expat needs, as it serves as a merger, hence convenient and safe. The future for Stanbic Bank’s International Private Banking is big, and it can only get better,” Nana Owiredu-Gyamera said.

has international banking”Mr. Gyamera noted.
