Home to fifty two countries, Africa is the world’s second largest continent and comprises two financial identities. The first is Sub-Saharan Africa, which are often more connected to the global markets than to their neighbours.
The countries in North Africa are closely linked to the Middle East through cultural ties including a shared language and ethnicity. As a result of the low number of total assets Africa’s compared with other regions, both territories are often reported simultaneously.
The below banks serve the various countries on the African continent.
