The main attraction for African financial services group Absa, however, was the republic\u2019s status as a world-class financial centre. Absa Bank (Seychelles) forms a crucial link in the group\u2019s coverage of the African continent, with a presence in 12 countries. Absa Bank acts as an agent of positive change at community and continental levels. It makes big promises \u2014 and delivers on them by creating meaningful opportunities. Absa was one of the first Seychelles banks to introduce digital services, with a robust and convenient platform. The bank has deep local roots and a profound understanding of its citizens\u2019 needs. It partners with Seychelles organisations to help beneficial programmes, offering tools and sponsorship for promising projects. As a Strategic Partner Associate of the World Economic Forum, Absa is a regular participant at the annual meeting in Davos. It has used the platform to call for the adoption of stakeholder capitalism, and encourages corporations to act as \u201ctrustees of society\u201d. Absa Bank pledges the courage and passion needed to shape a better society, and drives innovation in pursuit of solutions to pressing global challenges. Its stakeholder relationships are built on trust, and backed by environmental accountability and inter-generational sustainability. The CFI.co judging panel is impressed, and presents Absa Bank with the 2020 award for Most Responsible Bank (Seychelles).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seychelles archipelago \u2014 115 islands nestling off the east coast of Africa \u2014 boasts some of the world\u2019s most spectacular landscapes, flora and fauna.
