OmniBSIC Bank Ghana Limited has successfully hosted the landmark tenth edition of its industry leading Quarterly Health Walk, reinforcing its reputation as one of Ghana’s most consistent corporate wellness and community engagement platforms.
Held at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on February 27, 2026, the milestone edition drew customers, corporate partners, staff, families and members of the public in what has become a signature fixture on Ghana’s corporate calendar. What began in the aftermath of the COVID period as a staff focused wellness intervention has evolved into a large scale public platform that blends fitness, networking, brand visibility and business support.
Participants assembled at dawn and set off at 6:00 a.m. along designated walking routes before converging at the stadium, which transformed into a vibrant community hub. The atmosphere combined health consciousness with celebration, featuring live music, interactive brand activations, games and opportunities for participants to engage directly with businesses and institutional partners.
Beyond promoting physical wellbeing, the event hosted a curated Vendor Exhibition that spotlighted businesses across aviation, agriculture, fashion, healthcare, food and beverage and other sectors. The exhibition component has become a defining feature of the Health Walk, offering entrepreneurs exposure to new customers while demonstrating the Bank’s commitment to supporting enterprise growth alongside personal wellness.
At the inaugural edition, Managing Director Mr Daniel Asiedu articulated a long term vision for the initiative, describing it as a programme designed to endure. Ten editions later, the Bank says the growth in scale and participation reflects that original commitment to embedding wellness within its corporate culture rather than treating it as a one off campaign.
Health Walk Committee Chairperson Mrs Akyaa Afreh Arhin Addo Kufuor traced the programme’s origins to rising lifestyle related health risks, particularly during periods of restricted movement and sedentary work patterns. She noted that the Bank deliberately expanded participation beyond staff to include customers and the wider public, ensuring that each quarterly edition builds on lessons from the last. According to her, reaching a tenth edition signals institutional discipline and sustained internal ownership.
The milestone edition also attracted strong institutional participation. Representatives from the Minerals Development Fund, including Administrator Hanna Louisa Bisiw Kotei, praised the initiative as a platform that promotes both wellness and meaningful collaboration. Institutional partners emphasized that consistent community focused programmes create space for partnerships that extend beyond banking services into shared development goals.
OmniBSIC Bank states that the Quarterly Health Walk is now a structured element of its broader corporate social responsibility agenda. By combining health promotion with business exposure, the initiative aligns commercial objectives with social impact, a model increasingly embraced by modern financial institutions seeking deeper engagement with stakeholders.
Formed through the merger of OmniBank and Sahel Sahara Bank under the Bank of Ghana’s 2017 banking sector consolidation programme, OmniBSIC Bank has positioned itself as a significant player in Ghana’s financial ecosystem. The consolidation policy increased the minimum capital requirement from GH¢120 million to GH¢400 million, reshaping the industry and strengthening institutional resilience.
Headquartered in Accra’s Airport City, the Bank operates 41 business locations nationwide and offers a full suite of corporate, SME and retail banking services. It has invested heavily in technology infrastructure and staff development to enhance customer experience and regulatory compliance.
In recent years, the Bank has received multiple industry recognitions, including Outstanding Transformative Bank of the Year at the Ghana Corporate Finance Awards and Fastest Growing Digital Bank of the Year at the Digital Innovation Awards. It is currently ranked twenty ninth on the Ghana Club 100 list compiled by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre.
Looking ahead, the Bank says it intends to further expand the reach and impact of the Health Walk while strengthening its core banking operations and social impact initiatives. With ten editions completed, executives insist the momentum is only building, signaling continued investment in programmes that integrate wellness, community engagement and business growth under one unified corporate vision.
