GO plc will be designing and building a nationwide dedicated Gigabit fibre network for Bank of Valletta. This will future-proof BOV’s communications infrastructure, enabling it to deliver more and better interactive services to their customers. The multi-million Euro project agreement was signed by GO’s CEO, Yiannos Michaelides and Bank of Valletta CEO, Charles Borg.

Mr Borg said, “A dedicated nationwide Gigabit fibre network will greatly improve BOV’s capacity to manage and transfer data within a secure environment. In turn this will help Bank of Valletta to better understand and to more quickly meet our customers’ needs. As the only provider of true fibre networks in Malta, we are confident that GO will prove to be an outstanding partner for the Bank as this project is rolled out over the coming months.”

Mr Michaelides said, “The data management and transfer requirements for an organisation like Bank of Valletta are huge and require a world class communications infrastructure. As the pioneers of true fibre internet in Malta, GO is looking forward to delivering a Gigabit fibre network to BOV, which in turn will help the bank to further improve its operations and customer service.”

The roll out of the BoV nationwide Gigabit fibre network will take place alongside the ongoing rollout by GO of Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) which is already bringing the next generation of internet services to both residential and commercial customers. The €50 million investment in FTTH was launched by GO in April 2015 and a total of 33,000 plus households in Malta will be connected by the end of this year.
