History

[edit]

SG began in 1975 as Security Guarantee Trust Limited and the following year changed its name to Social Security Bank Limited, or SSB. In 1994, SSB merged with the National Savings and Credit Bank, under a World Bank program. The next year, the Ghanaian government divested its 21% share of the bank, and it was converted to a public limited liability company and subsequently listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange. In 2004, the bank rebranded as SG-SSB after Societe Generale acquired a 51% controlling interest in the institution.[5] In 2013 it rebranded as SG to conform with the wider Société Générale group name.[6]
