01 · Your personal CFO

Meet Ask Tong.

Executives have someone who watches the money, plans ahead and prepares decisions. The Tong Shang app gives that to every customer, grounded in your own accounts. It is the centre of the app, and the reason we say banking re-imagined.

Closing time at the market

A trader deciding between stock and a supplier

YouTakings today were D 3,200. Restock tomorrow or pay the supplier first?
Ask TongPay the supplier. D 2,000 is due on Friday and paying late costs you the discount. That leaves D 1,200 plus Wednesday's takings for stock. If you want more room, I can prepare a small credit request and the bank will show you the full repayment schedule before you decide.

Illustrative conversation. Ask Tong explains what is due and what waiting costs, and prepares a credit request only if you ask. Two more conversations.

The Tong Shang app is in development. There is no release date to announce yet. Every service on this site is available in person at the head office today.

04 · The bank behind it

Plain terms, an open door.

A bank you can walk into.

Our head office is on Gambia Street. Come in, ask questions, and leave with clear answers and the paperwork you need.

Two markets, one table.

Tong Shang was founded by Gambian and international partners. That mix shapes how we think about trade, currency and the businesses that connect The Gambia to the world.

Growth together.

The slogan is not decoration. We grow when the families and businesses banking with us grow, so we explain our terms in plain language.
