UT Bank (UTB), formally known as UT Bank Ghana Limited, was a commercial bank in Ghana until 2017 when its license was revoked by the Bank of Ghana due to severe impairment of their capital and was taken over by GCB Bank.[1]

As of February 2011, the bank was one of the commercial banks licensed by Bank of Ghana, the national banking regulator.[2] UTB was a medium-sized financial services provider headquartered in Ghana with subsidiaries in West Africa and Western Europe.[3]

On August 14, 2017, the bank of Ghana announced it had revoked its license, together with Capital Bank. The bank was subsequently taken over by GCB Bank.
