GTI Holding Reports Strong Performance in First Half of 2025, Sets Sights on Expansion and Innovation Across Africa

Accra, Ghana – July 31, 2025 – GTI Holding, a Ghana-based pan-African investment conglomerate, has reported impressive gains across its diversified portfolio during the first half of 2025. With strategic advancements in digital financial services, healthcare innovation, education technology, and infrastructure, the company continues to deliver on its mission to solve Africa’s most pressing challenges through scalable, impact-driven, and faith-anchored solutions.

Operating with a vision to build inclusive, tech-enabled ecosystems across the continent, GTI Holding is empowering individuals, small businesses, institutions, and governments with accessible tools designed to foster transformation and growth.

“Our work across industries and borders reflects GTI’s vision to build inclusive, tech-driven ecosystems that deliver lasting impact. We are committed to solving complex challenges in a simple way while creating meaningful growth for the people and businesses we serve,”
Dr. K. S. Watanabe, Group Chief Executive Officer, GTI Holding


Digital Financial Services: GTI Switch Leads Fintech Transformation

At the heart of GTI Holding’s strong first-half performance is GTI Switch, its flagship digital infrastructure subsidiary. GTI Switch continues to drive the Group’s efforts in modernizing Africa’s financial services landscape through secure, user-centric fintech products.

The company’s pioneering platforms, Sao Wallet and Saopay, are at the forefront of financial inclusion:

  • Sao Wallet is a globally accessible digital wallet supporting cross-border peer-to-peer (P2P) and peer-to-business (P2B) transactions. It’s designed for individuals, freelancers, and mobile-first consumers looking to transact across currencies and borders.
  • Saopay, on the other hand, focuses on empowering micro, small, and informal businesses through QR code-based payments, payment links, and mobile-friendly checkouts.

“Together, these platforms represent GTI Holding’s long-term commitment to financial inclusion, cashless economies, and secure fintech solutions for emerging markets,”
Dr. K. S. Watanabe


GTI Bank: Expanding Cross-Border Capabilities

GTI Bank, another key subsidiary of the Group, recorded two significant achievements during the first half of 2025. First, the bank formed a strategic remittance partnership with Thunes, allowing its users to send money from Ghana to the UK, USA, Portugal, Germany, and the UAE—streamlining diaspora remittances and international transfers.

Second, GTI Bank signed a landmark agreement with São Tomé’s Customs Authority (Direção Geral das Alfândegas) to facilitate digital payment of import duties and taxes through the GTI Bank App. The partnership positions GTI as a key driver of e-governance and digitized revenue collection in Africa.


GTI Healthcare: Diagnostic Innovation and Community-Centered Expansion

GTI Healthcare, the conglomerate’s health-tech subsidiary, has scaled up its operations with enhanced diagnostic services and expanded access to underserved communities.

The company’s diagnostic facilities now include X-ray, ultrasound, and ultra-scan services, supporting earlier and more accurate medical diagnosis. A new satellite sample collection center located at Ussher Fort in Accra has also been commissioned to bring preventative care closer to historically underserved populations.

“As part of GTI’s wider health mission, the brand is focused on community-based healthcare delivery, diagnostics innovation, and partnerships that expand access to affordable primary care across Africa,”
Dr. K. S. Watanabe


KATON 360: EdTech for a Smarter Future

GTI’s education technology arm, KATON 360, continued its national-level smart learning projects across Ghana, supporting digital transformation in classrooms. The platform offers tailored learning resources and assessments, supporting students and teachers alike.

Meanwhile, its corporate learning product, KATON Bizz, is gaining popularity among organizations seeking scalable and structured training for remote and hybrid teams.

The solution enables businesses to deploy compliance courses, leadership training, and onboarding programs efficiently across distributed teams.


Looking Ahead: Expansion, Innovation, and Empowerment

As GTI Holding looks to the second half of 2025, the Group plans to scale up several of its flagship initiatives:

  • GTI Switch will expand Sao Wallet and Saopay, enhancing interoperability and market reach, especially among underserved populations across West and Central Africa.
  • GTI Healthcare will further grow its diagnostic infrastructure in both Ghana and São Tomé and Príncipe, increasing access to affordable, quality healthcare.
  • The launch of Job Connectz, a digital employment platform designed to match artisans and skilled workers with real-time job opportunities, will deepen GTI’s impact on employment and youth livelihoods.

“GTI is building a continent-wide value chain where everyday problems are met with agile, scalable, and trustworthy solutions. From digital wallets to diagnostics and job creation, our mission is anchored in impact, trust, and access.”
Dr. K. S. Watanabe

Another exciting development on the horizon is the operational launch of RLG Security Services, GTI’s new licensed subsidiary. The firm will offer professional security services tailored to estates, institutions, and private sector clients, addressing growing demand for trusted security providers in Ghana and across the region.


A Commitment to Partnership and Purpose

GTI Holding is also prioritizing strategic public-private partnerships in the months ahead. The company aims to collaborate with governments and institutions to digitize payments, improve revenue transparency, and introduce innovation into traditionally manual sectors such as utilities, port fees, and municipal services.

In a statement, GTI Holding reiterated its commitment to “God-centered innovation,” noting that every initiative undertaken by the Group is anchored in service, purpose, and shared prosperity.
