The Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) Sierra Leone, Daniel Attah, has reaffirmed the bank's commitment to strengthening its relationship with the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT). Attah made this statement during a courtesy visit to NASSIT Director General Chernor Mamoud Jalloh on November 11, 2026, at NASSIT House in Freetown. The meeting provided an opportunity for the bank to congratulate Jalloh on his appointment and discuss ways to maintain a strong working relationship between the two institutions.

During the visit, Attah highlighted GTBank's efforts to expand its operations and improve service delivery across Sierra Leone. The bank currently operates in nine districts, with plans to extend its presence to Goderich, Waterloo, and the Peninsula. Attah also praised Jalloh's professional achievements, particularly his previous contributions to GTBank, and invited him to deliver a motivational talk to the bank's staff.

Jalloh expressed appreciation for the visit, describing GTBank as an institution he considers home. He recalled his time at the bank, where he headed the Systems and Controls Department (SYSCON). The NASSIT Director General also highlighted the Trust's newly introduced Pension Administration System (PAS), a paperless platform designed to improve operational efficiency and service delivery.

The Pension Administration System enables electronic transmission of payment instructions and allows contributors to access personal information, view account statements, and update their records without relying on traditional paper-based processes. Jalloh welcomed continued collaboration between NASSIT and GTBank, expressing optimism about maintaining a productive relationship between the two institutions.

Attah was accompanied by GTBank's Relationship Manager, Mamusu Conteh, and Group Head, Sahr Koroma. The visit demonstrates GTBank's commitment to building strong relationships with key stakeholders in Sierra Leone. The bank's expansion plans and introduction of new services aim to improve financial inclusion and service delivery in the country.

The courtesy visit is a significant development in the relationship between GTBank and NASSIT. Both institutions play critical roles in Sierra Leone's financial sector, and their collaboration is essential for promoting economic growth and stability. The visit highlights the importance of partnerships between financial institutions and government agencies in driving national development.

The meeting between Attah and Jalloh is a positive step towards fostering greater cooperation between GTBank and NASSIT. The two institutions are expected to work together to promote financial inclusion, improve service delivery, and enhance the overall efficiency of the financial sector in Sierra Leone.
