Africa is our home. An exciting place, bursting with possibilities. In every corner, individuals and businesses are working relentlessly to achieve their dreams.
We believe that dreams matter. They are the fuel that powers the future. To realise dreams, we take uncharted paths together. Paths that lead to growth. That’s why, every day, we are committed to finding new ways to make dreams possible.
Our purpose is to drive Africa’s growth. We aim to do this in a sustainable and inclusive way. This means that we strive to have a positive impact through our business on important aspects of Africa’s development like education, infrastructure, financial inclusion and other UN Sustainable Development Goals.
It also requires that we reduce the negative impacts of our business on the environment and society. Climate change is an important issue with implications for Africa’s growth. As the largest bank on the continent, we have the opportunity to play a leading role in supporting a just energy transition for Africa.
We drive sustainable and inclusive economic growth in Africa. To ensure our commitment to making a positive and lasting impact, we have developed a framework of initiatives and objectives towards long-term social, economic and environmental upliftment.
We are a financial services group, offering services and solutions for 159 years, to Consumer & High Net Worth Clients, Business & Commercial Clients and Corporate and Investment Banking in and across Africa as well as key global locations.
