Ecobank Ghana was incorporated on January 9, 1989, as a private limited liability company under the Organizations Code to engage in the business of banking.[2]

The bank was formed in February 19,1990. In December 2011, Bank of Ghana, the central bank of the country, which also functions as the national banking regulator, gave approval for Ecobank Transnational to acquire 100% interest in The Trust Bank (TTB), another licensed commercial bank. At the time, the total asset valuation of TTB was approximately US$119 million (GH¢ 220 million).[6] Ecobank has successfully merged TTB and EBG. The new bank is known as Ecobank Ghana Limited.
