ABOUT BANK OF AFRICA
BANK OF AFRICA Group is a banking and financial group that has been in operation for a century. Over the years, the Group has successfully built a universal banking model, which over 15 years has seen its expansion across the African continent to become one of the leading pan-African banks.
Who we are ?
Since 2010, BANK OF AFRICA Group has been majority-owned by BMCE Bank (whose name recently changed to BANK OF AFRICA), the 3rd largest bank in Morocco. BMCE Bank brings strong strategic and operational support to BANK OF AFRICA Group, as well as direct access to international markets in view of its presence in Europe and Asia.
Established over 35 years ago in Mali, BOA Group currently has a total of about 6,500 employees. In the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group recorded a consolidated balance sheet of 9.4 billion Euros and consolidated net income of 164,5 million Euros.
Our history
The history of the Group integration, which started in 1982 in Mali, can be summarized in five phases, each associated with a specific development.
It is a pioneering project in the banking field: the creation of an African bank, independent of large international groups and funded by well-diversified African private capital.
After the beginning of operations of BANK OF AFRICA in Mali in 1982, a holding company was incorporated in 1988 – AFRICAN FINANCIAL HOLDING (AFH) – which later became BOA GROUP S.A.
This incorporation came at the beginning of the creation of BANK OF AFRICA – BENIN in 1989, its reference shareholder, and now the market leader in Benin.
