Banking the next chapter of African mining

A long-term partner for what comes next

Africa's mining sector is entering a new phase of growth, shaped by changing trade routes, rising demand for energy-transition minerals, and the need for cross-border infrastructure. In this environment, success will depend not only on what is extracted today, but on the strength of the partners mining companies choose to navigate what comes next.

Access Bank offers a single, pan-African banking platform built to support mining clients across the full value chain, connecting capital, trade, infrastructure, and markets across the continent.

Our approach combines global reach with strong in-country execution, helping mining clients operate effectively across multiple jurisdictions and market conditions.

Through Access Bank, mining companies benefit from:

A unified pan-African platform to support operations across borders
Access to international capital and expertise, supported by global hubs such as London and Mauritius
Strong local execution, ensuring solutions are practical and aligned to in-country realities
Sector-specific banking support tailored to mining needs across markets
Guidance through complexity, enabling better decision-making and long-term growth

This model helps mining clients manage cross-border complexity, secure the right financial support, and invest with confidence, today and into the future.
