The Board of Directors of Fidelity Bank has selected Deputy Managing Director Atta Yeboah Gyan as the bank's next Managing Director, effective Saturday, November 21, 2026, subject to regulatory approval.

Gyan will succeed outgoing Managing Director Julian Opuni, whose eight-year term at the helm of Fidelity Bank Ghana concludes on November 21, JoyBusiness reported on Monday, noting that the appointment awaits clearance from the central bank.

Gyan joined Fidelity Bank in 2007 and has held several senior leadership roles, including Chief Financial Officer, before becoming Deputy Managing Director in charge of the bank's operations and support functions.

He brings more than two decades of experience across finance, corporate strategy, audit, operations, risk management and regulatory compliance under Bank of Ghana supervision.

After an early career stint at Ghana Airways, Gyan entered the banking industry as an Inspector at SG-SSB—now Société Générale Ghana—where he served on an operations and control task force during the bank's transition from local to foreign ownership.

Before moving to Fidelity Bank in 2007, he served as Finance Manager at Joy FM, establishing the station's finance unit and overseeing strategy, budgeting, credit control and client service.

A Chartered Accountant and member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana, Gyan is also a certified Financial Risk Manager with the US-based Global Association of Risk Professionals. He holds an Executive MBA in Finance and a BSc in Administration (Accounting) from the University of Ghana, alongside a post-chartered diploma in International Financial Reporting Standards.
