Under Dr. Gilpin’s Leadership… RCBank Earns Prestigious NASSIT Award
In a notable affirmation of corporate excellence and responsible leadership, Rokel Commercial Bank (RCBank) has once again distinguished itself by receiving a prestigious award from the National Social Security and Insurance Trust (NASSIT). The honor was presented in recognition of the bank’s consistent and timely compliance in remitting the monthly social security contributions of its employees across Sierra Leone, underscoring its commitment to the welfare of its workforce.
Under the guidance of its dynamic and erudite Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ekundayo Walton Gilpin, RCBank has charted an extraordinary path of transformation. The institution once faced severe financial challenges, standing on the brink of collapse, but was revitalized through Dr. Gilpin’s strategic vision and transformative leadership. Today, it stands firmly among the top five commercial banks in the nation, celebrated for its resilience, innovation, and customer-centric approach.
The bank’s remarkable ascent has drawn admiration from the public and peers alike, a testament to its steady evolution from recovery to industry prominence. This trajectory of growth was further amplified recently when the Bank of Sierra Leone granted Dr. Gilpin and his team the significant responsibility of overseeing the operations of Union Trust Bank following the passing of its founder, the late Sanpha Koroma. This development not only reflects the profound trust placed in Dr. Gilpin’s capabilities, but also marks a pivotal expansion of RCBank’s influence within the country’s financial sector.
The NASSIT award serves as more than a ceremonial accolade; it is a tangible reflection of the bank’s internal culture and ethical priorities. Beyond its dedication to serving customers and driving financial inclusion, RCBank demonstrates a profound sense of duty toward its employees. By ensuring strict adherence to the NASSIT Act, the bank safeguards the future security of its staff, reinforcing the principle that institutional success is built upon the well-being of its people.
This latest recognition adds yet another feather to the cap of Dr. Ekundayo Walton Gilpin, whose leadership continues to inspire confidence and set benchmarks in Sierra Leone’s banking industry. Congratulations are extended to him and the entire RCBank team for this achievement, which so powerfully illustrates that true corporate excellence is measured not only by profit and growth, but also by integrity, compliance, and a genuine commitment to people.
