GCB overtakes Ecobank as Ghana’s largest deposit-taking bank

GCB Bank has reclaimed its position as Ghana's largest deposit-taking bank, surpassing Ecobank Ghana in 2025, according to the PwC Ghana Banking Survey 2026. GCB's share of industry deposits rose to 12.37 per cent, up from 10.86 per cent in 2023, although slightly below the 12.99 per cent recorded in 2024. The shift marks a notable change from the previous year, when Ecobank held the largest share of industry deposits.

The growth in GCB's market share can be attributed to an expansion in deposits across the banking industry, with overall deposits increasing by 25 per cent in 2025.
