Ghana wins 40 in 3 campaign

The sound that emanated from the forecourt of Stanbic Heights when Stanbic Ghana celebrated its win in the Group wide 40in 3 competition is better seen than described.
We had not won the World Cup. Rather Stanbic Bank Ghana was celebrating  the arrival of a trophy. A title indicating that across the Standard Bank Group, Ghana attracted more customers within the period April –June achieving 189% of its target.

The celebrations were so intense because last year, the Team came second in the 70-in-6 competition and also came second in the 2015 first quarter edition of the 40-in-3.

Forty- in- three means achieving forty percent of the yearly target in three months. This contest runs four times a year and the country that achieves the highest increase over its target wins. At the praises and worship programme staff, clad mostly in Ghanaian colours, let down their hairs as they danced to happy, full-throated songs of praise to God for helping achieve the feat.
Nana Benneh Dwemoh, Head of PBB, attributed the win to the unequalled commitment and discipline exhibited by staff and the loyalty shown by customers.
