The Access Bank UK Ltd: Best Africa Trade Finance Bank 2025

Jamie Simmonds, CEO/MD of The Access Bank UK Ltd, Anthony Michael, Publisher at Capital Finance International and Wasiu Fatai, Head of Trade Finance of The Access Bank UK Ltd, during the award presentation.

The Access Bank UK Limited continues to play a pivotal role in facilitating trade finance between Africa and global markets, serving as a key international anchor for the Access Group. The Bank’s relationship-based model underpins its strategic expansion, which has seen its presence grow significantly across key financial hubs, including Dubai, Paris, Malta, and Hong Kong.

The recent regulatory approval for a restricted banking licence in Hong Kong marks a critical milestone, enabling the Bank to support trade flows between Africa and Asia. Similarly, its expansion into Malta strengthens its reach into North Africa. Additionally, the anticipated acquisition of Mauritius-based AfrAsia Bank, once completed, will further enhance its presence in Southern Africa and provide a gateway for trade finance and wealth management opportunities.

The Bank prioritises investment in its people, technology, and infrastructure, increasing its workforce across regions to sustain its growing operations. Despite global economic challenges, The Access Bank UK Limited continues to deliver strong financial performance, with impressive revenue and profit results. Its commitment to Africa extends beyond banking, as evidenced by its continued support for customers through economic fluctuations.

With a strong commitment to relationship banking and international trade facilitation, the Bank is well-positioned to drive future growth across Africa and beyond. The CFl.co Judging Panel congratulates The Access Bank UK Limited on winning the 2025 award for Best Africa Trade Finance Bank.
