The Mayor of Greenville, Harrison O. Kai, has praised SIB Bank for its efforts in providing essential financial services to Greenville and surrounding towns and villages. As the sole commercial bank in the county, SIB Bank has filled a crucial gap by offering financial services to local businesses, institutions, and residents. The bank provides a range of services, including deposits, withdrawals, domestic and international remittances, and MoneyGram transactions, making it a vital institution in the region.
Mayor Kai commended SIB Bank for its dedication and commitment to serving the community, stating that the county and its citizens are grateful for its efforts to complement the work of the national government. Without SIB Bank, residents would have to travel for hours or even a full day to reach the nearest banks in other counties.
The bank’s branch in Greenville has created employment opportunities for over 125 Liberians and has invested in building the capacity of its staff to deliver top-tier financial services. The bank’s inter-branch operations also allow customers to deposit funds in Greenville and withdraw in Monrovia, eliminating the risks of transporting cash across counties, which is particularly vital during the rainy season.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also lauded SIB Bank’s efforts and has pledged to support cities like Greenville as part of the national development agenda. Deputy Minister for Urban Affairs, Madam Ellen Pratt, hopes that other financial institutions will follow SIB Bank’s example and expand into underserved Southeastern cities, recognizing that decentralizing financial services is key to fostering sustainable growth.
Overall, SIB Bank’s presence in Greenville has made a significant impact on the region, providing essential financial services to local businesses and residents, and creating employment opportunities for the community.
