“Please be informed that all GTCO branches will close early on Friday, 11th October 2024. We encourage you to use our secure and convenient digital channels during this time for all your banking needs.

“Important Update: Our digital channels will be temporarily unavailable for 11 hours, from 10:00 PM on Sunday, 13th October to 9:00 AM on Monday, 14th October 2024, as part of a scheduled transition process.”

However, the Management released a statement in the early hours of Monday (today), stating that the transition to a new and robust suite of financial core banking application systems has taken a little longer than planned, while all banking channels, including branches, will now reopen at 12:00 noon Monday (today).
