OmniBSIC Bank Completes Ninth Health Walk to Promote Wellness and Community Engagement

OmniBSIC Bank Ghana, the fastest-growing bank in Ghana, has concluded the ninth edition of its quarterly Health Walk, reaffirming its commitment to promoting a culture of wellness, social connection, and community empowerment among staff, customers, and the wider public.

The event is one of the most anticipated on the bank’s annual calendar, as it brings together  employees, customers, vendors, and fitness enthusiasts in a shared commitment to healthy living. Each edition has built on the success of the last, drawing participation from across the country and creating an atmosphere that blends exercise, enterprise, and engagement.

For many participants, the Health Walk has come to represent a new model of community-centred corporate engagement. Richard Adjei, a long-time customer of the bank, said the initiative shows that OmniBSIC’s influence extends far beyond traditional banking. “It is refreshing to see a bank driving change in such a humane way. OmniBSIC is not just about deposits and loans anymore, it is about creating an impact where people live and work. You can see the difference in how the community connects with the brand,” he said.

Chairperson of the OmniBSIC Health Walk Committee, Akyaa Arhin Addo-Kufuor, said the growth of the event reflects the bank’s broader purpose beyond financial services. “Every edition has surpassed the previous one. What started as a wellness activity for staff has now become a national event that attracts people from Kumasi, Takoradi, and other parts of Ghana. It shows the kind of impact we’re making not only in banking but in people’s everyday lives,” she said.

She explained that the Health Walk was introduced to raise awareness about the dangers of sedentary lifestyles, especially among professionals. “We realised that many of us spend long hours at our desks, and it was important to remind ourselves and others that health must come first. The walk is our way of encouraging regular exercise and balance, even in demanding work environments,” she noted.

Beyond its fitness focus, the Health Walk has become a vibrant community fair, offering opportunities for small businesses to showcase their products and services at no cost.

Mrs Addo-Kufuor said this element of inclusivity has been one of the most rewarding outcomes. “We do not charge vendors to participate. They come, they sell, and they connect with new customers. It is our way of giving back to the business community and helping enterprises grow,” she said.

According to her, the initiative has strengthened OmniBSIC’s relationship with its customers and enhanced its reputation as a forward-looking bank. “The Health Walk has brought us closer to our clients and the public,” she said. “When people think about wellness events in Ghana today, they think about OmniBSIC. That is the standard we have set,” she added.

Mrs Addo-Kufuor noted that the committee has deliberately kept the format dynamic to sustain enthusiasm. “We like to keep people guessing. Every edition is a little different; new routes, new experiences, new energy. People now call ahead just to find out where the next walk will be,” she says.

As the Bank wraps up the 2025 editions, plans are already underway for next year’s milestone event. “We are preparing something exceptional for the tenth edition. It will be bigger, livelier, and more engaging, a true reflection of our growth and the values we stand for. OmniBSIC is redefining what it means to be a modern bank,” she said.
