Prince Kofi Amoabeng (born February 22, 1952) is a Ghanaian businessman and a former military officer of the Ghanaian Armed Forces. He caused a paradigm shift in the lending industry in Ghana by founding Unique Trust Financial Services with three employees and grew it into a robust holding company, UT Holdings, with several subsidiaries both locally as well as in Africa and Europe.[1] UT Bank, which he co-founded, collapsed in 2017 during Ghana's banking crisis amid allegations that he had misappropriated funds from the bank.[2][3][4][5][6][7] He is currently subject to ongoing court battles regarding these allegations following his arrest on 14 January 2020, and release on bail of 110 million cedis.[8][9][10]
