Access Bank for Women
It’s time Africa’s women had access
At Access Bank, we understand that the future is female. And we’ve put that understanding into action.
Access Bank has consistently won awards for sustainability in which gender (specifically women) has been integral.
We understand that empowering women empowers our continent. Creating a platform that enables women to connect with themselves not only addresses women-focused issues, but wider societal challenges too. That’s why mentorship, coaching and support for women entrepreneurs, women in established business roles, or women looking after families, translates into positive change for the wider community. Because community is second nature to women.
Are you a female owned business that wants to bank with a bank that values women?
