BCC made a hesitant but sincere attempt to establish operations in Ghana in 1975 and 1976, but without much success.

For a variety of reasons, these have been left idle or even allowed to disintegrate over the past decade or so.
One day Ghana and its people will find the means by which they can play a part in feeding Africa as a whole and evolving a thriving economy for themselves. It was with this hope and vision in mind that BCC finally established its presence in 1977 in the form of a 45% interest in setting up a new merchant bank - Premier Bank Limited.
