As we celebrate our second year as Access Bank South Africa, we’re reflecting on some of the milestones we’ve reached along the way. Here are five things you might not know about us:
1. We’re deeply involved in the upliftment of female entrepreneurs in Africa. Each year, our Womenpreneur Pitch-a-ton invites womenpreneurs to pitch to win a cash flow injection for their startup, as well as an education voucher. Locally, our 2022 South African Pitch-a-Ton drew almost 3000 entrants, consisting of a collection of wonderfully dynamic and inspiring women who are making a difference through the businesses they’re building.
2. In May this year Access Bank Plc announced its investment commitment of R1.42 billion into South Africa’s economy. With this latest funding commitment towards South Africa, the bank is set to play a significant role in the financing of businesses and continue to be a driving force for change in the region.
3. We’re getting industry recognition for our efforts. Earlier this year, Capital Finance International (CFI) named Access Bank SA “the Best Business Banking Solutions in South Africa” for 2022. We’re proud to be recognised for our dedication, determination and commitment to ensuring that our customers receive impeccable service and products.
4. We’re growing quickly. In just two years since Access Bank PLC entered the South African market, we’ve expanded our footprint to 6 branches in 5 provinces across South Africa. We are proud to be a part of a global network of more than 700 branches and service outlets, spanning three continents, 18 markets and over 52 million customers.
5. We’ve launched a forex trading platform. 2022 marked even more expansion, with the launch of our forex trading platform that provides greater opportunities for trade in multiple markets, bringing cost reduction, business resilience, growth opportunities and tax and compliance benefits.
We’re proud of the journey we’ve walked so far towards becoming the world’s most respected African Bank. We hope you continue to walk it with us.
“In line with Access Bank Plc’s five-year strategy to expand into 26 countries, up from its current 18 markets, by 2027 released last year, Access Bank SA will leverage the powerful backing this provides in order to continue to bring South African clients innovative products and services,” says Mrs Sugendhree Reddy, CEO of Access Bank South Africa.
