  "account": "Atwima Kwanwoma Community Bank PLC reported a robust financial performance for the year ending December 31, 2025, with profit after tax soaring to GH¢44.2 million, reflecting a 17.33 percent increase. The bank credits this growth to prudent lending practices, effective loan recovery, and enhanced service delivery. Chief Executive Officer Samuel Bonsu Sekyere emphasized the bank's commitment to shareholder value by lending to creditworthy clients and ensuring timely recovery. \"Lending to those we know are creditworthy and can repay is one of the surest ways to boost profitability,\" Sekyere noted. The bank's loan portfolio expanded by 75.30 percent, rising from GH¢102.2 million in 2024 to GH¢179.2 million in 2025. Profit before tax also increased from GH¢54.4 million to GH¢62.7 million. Total assets surged to GH¢945.4 million, a 30.80 percent growth, surpassing the GH¢900 million threshold. Deposits climbed by 28.68 percent to GH¢762 million, and investments rose by 24.29 percent to GH¢621.5 million. At the bank's 43rd Annual General Meeting, Board Chairman Kwame Kyei Kusi highlighted the bank's resilience, profitability, and compliance amidst a tough economic backdrop. The bank unveiled a new logo post-43 years, signifying its transformation from a rural-focused institution to a modern, digital, and customer-centric community bank. This rebranding aligns with Bank of Ghana's microfinance reforms, which mandate rural banks to transition into community banks. Sekyere also mentioned technological investments that have streamlined operations, with the introduction of a mobile app and USSD platform (*223#) enabling round-the-clock banking services, a significant improvement from the previous 8-hour operational hours.",
