Access Bank Gambia Limited, the trendsetting bank in many respects, has introduced the Gambian banking industry’s first Visa Classic Debit Card to fast-track business and financial transaction, as well as promote economic growth, through e-payment.

The introduction of the Access Bank Gambia Visa Classic Debit Card has made the bank the first financial intermediary to bring this product and service to the doorsteps of Gambians in addition to other “firsts” it has attained over the years in other disciplines in the banking life of The Gambia.

“Access Bank is the first African Bank to install Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) in The Gambia, the first Bank to introduce Point of Sale (POS) terminals in The Gambia, the first Local Bank to conduct a Preference Share issue, the first Bank to win consecutive Governor’s Inter-Bank Football Tournaments, the first Bank to sponsor a student exchange programme between The Gambia and Nigeria through the University of Benin, and the first Bank to issue both Visa Credit and Debit Cards in The Gambia!” says Access Bank Gambia MD/CEO Dapo Fajemirokun, at the launch of the new product at the Coco Ocean Resort & Spa in Kerr Serign on 3 July 2013.
