It is themed, *Rebranding and digitalization of credit unions for sustainability growth in the Ashanti chapter*
Managers training was based on how to treat costumers, branding yourself to suit the customers when rendering a service and advance use of social media in the financial sector
However, the Ashanti regional Representative for Credit union Assoiciation who is known to be Mr James Sarfo Gyamfi and also intimate that, credit Union has been In exant for more than *40years* and there’s nothing like defrauding of customers and other challenges Ghanaians are facing from other Finanacial institution.
Also, Credit unions are unique to the extend that, when Bank of Ghana was collapsing both Banks and Micro Finanaces, Credit unions was not included because they registered under *CUA* *(CREDIT UNION ASSOCIATION)* and its a body that regulates all credit unions and they are the type of financial institution that , when you open an account with any of them at any of their branches, you probably becomes a member of the Association and the benefit is that, since you become a member and you are facing financial difficulties, the Association will help you. And this is only done by credit unions. He revealed
Lastly, he added that people consider credit union as local savings financial institutions *(SUSU)* but that’s not true because the even 5 cedis can open an account there.
The poor can also join.
He’s entreating all Ghanaians to join to avoid financial crisis that others are facing
