Founded in 1994, the National Banking College (NBC) was the first specialist academic training institution for middle to top level bankers. Over the years the College has grown to carve a new mission and vision offering, from relevant applied research spanning a uniquely broad range of fields to specialist consultancy services. In 2009, over 2,400 participants passed through the gated campus of NBC, ranging from the most promising undergraduates to experienced senior managers and board level practitioners. Whether students and programme members are taking a Diploma or an MBA, or participating in an open executive programme, at NBC they will be inspired and empowered to advance, achieve and excel.
The NBC was set up at a time when the banking and finance segments of the financial services industry were undergoing embryonic structural adjustments. In 1994, there were 16 (universal/commercial) banks plus a handful of other bank and non-bank financial institutions. Today, there are 200 bank and non-bank financial institutions including Universal Banks (26), Rural & Community Banks (136), Finance Houses (19), Savings & Loans companies (18) and Mortgage Company (1). Besides, there are over 1,300 Susu Collectors, which together have changed the landscape of the banking sector beyond recognition.

Throughout its history, NBC has been building upon its distinctive characteristics. Today it is Ghana’s leading educational institution for bankers, with a reputation for excellence in teaching and research, strong links with business, especially the financial services industry and external institutions of higher learning.

Developing leaders
NBC will continue to develop leaders to make the right choices for themselves, their organisations and the wider communities in which they exist. Whilst NBC’s reach and scale are presently domestic, the services provided, and the attention to detail afforded, will always be personal to the needs of each programme member.
This vision is underpinned by NBC’s core values:
- That the learner and their continued development is central to what we do.
- That character and integrity are as important as capability.
- That wealth creation is important for society as a whole and not just for individuals.
- That building management and leadership capability builds both wealth and the welfare of society.
