The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has opened a branch in Adentan, in the Greater Accra Region.
The inauguration of the Adentan branch at a colourful ceremony that took place on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, brought the total branches of the Trust to 53.
Prior to the opening of the Adentan branch, customers within the catchment area had to visit the Legon office to access the services of the Trust.
Last week, SSNIT opened its 52nd branch at Spintex, Accra, as part of its broader move aimed at improving access to social security services and enhancing convenience for workers.
PARTNERSHIP
In his address, the Acting Director General of SSNIT, Kwesi Afreh Biney, indicated that the Trust, beyond opening its own branches, was also partnering with banks to expand their reach.
He mentioned that the Trust was in discussions with three banks to utilise their extensive branch network for rapid service expansion across the country.
According to the Acting DG, the partnership will position SSNIT staff at some selected banks and banking halls to render full services to SSNIT members.
“We also began conversations with three banks, and the strategy is to leverage their branch network to extend our services rapidly across the country,” he said in his address.
Mr. Biney explained further that “there are banks in almost every district in the country, and we’ve decided that to bring convenience to our members at the least cost to serve, it was important to leverage partnerships, and in so doing, our aim is to scale up quickly with an additional 25 to 50 touch points before the end of this year.”
The acting DG extended an invitation to stakeholders to join SSNIT in its transformative journey of accessibility, convenience, value creation, and professionalism.
In furtherance to expanding the Trust’s reach, a virtual branch is in the offing. The acting DG, who announced this at the Adentan branch opening, said by ‘Quarter Three’ of this year, the virtual branch of SSNIT is expected to go online.
SERVICE
The Acting General Manager of SSNIT-Operations mentioned that the new branch was set up to enhance service delivery for the people of Adentan, “including the self-employed within this fast-growing community.”
He stated that the Adentan branch was a testament of significant steps in the Trust’s efforts in bringing its services closer to the public and expressed their commitment to delivering quality services and support.
COMMITMENT
In a speech delivered on his behalf by Victor Azuma Mejida, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority (NPRA), the CEO, Christopher Boadi Mensah, emphasised that the establishment of the Adentan branch demonstrated SSNIT’s commitment to accessibility and efficiency.
He said the move underscored the forward-thinking approach of SSNIT to meet the changing scenes in the pension industry.
He pledged the support of NPRA to SSNIT and called for continuous collaboration to expand the scheme.
The Member of Parliament for Adentan, Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, who was the guest of honour, was excited that SSNIT had opened a branch in his constituency to serve the constituents.
He said that apart from providing financial security, SSNIT was also positioning itself as a people-centered insurance company.
“This development presents a good opportunity for our residents, particularly the many self-employed workers in Adentan and its adjourning communities who form the backbone of our community,” he remarked.
