He said the bank had introduced a new product under the name: �Obibie KIama� on a pilot basis in the 30 selected microfinance groups.

Mr J.M. Addo, Representative of ARB Apex Bank, commended the management of the Bawjiase Area Rural Bank for their hard work that had helped the bank to chalk success.

Mr Addo urged the Rural and Community banks to take Risk Management as a tool that could assist them to avert fraud.
Mr Kwadwo Konadu Asiamah, Board Member of ARB Apex Bank, urged the shareholders to purchase more shares to increase the share capital of the bank.

Mr Frand Osei, Central Regional Representative of Association of Rural Banks, said some rural banks in the region were collapsing due to huge fraudulent activities by some managements and staffs.
He, therefore, urged members of the various boards to be vigilant to sustain the rural banking industry.
