The Government has capitalized the new bank in the amount of GH¢450 million ($94.2million) and the Bank of Ghana has issued it with a universal banking license with effect from 1 st August 2018.” According toDoobia.com Ghana’s business and financial portal

The Bank of Ghana has also approved a Purchase and Assumption Agreement between Consolidated Bank and the Receiver for the five banks. Under the Agreement, Consolidated Bank will acquire all deposits and other specified liabilities, and good assets of the five banks.
