Access Bank Leads Africa's Trade Renaissance at Africa Trade Conference 2026

Access Bank is leading efforts to revitalize African trade through the Africa Trade Conference 2026 in Cape Town. The conference, under the theme "Turn Vision into Velocity," is set to tackle key obstacles impeding intra-African trade, such as limited access to affordable finance, lack of reliable information, and weak trust among trade partners.

With Roosevelt Ogbonna, Group Managing Director of Access Bank PLC, emphasizing the need for practical solutions, the event aims to bring together leaders from 28 countries to address critical issues hindering African business growth. Access Bank's expansion across 24 countries, including 16 in Africa, aims to facilitate smoother cross-border trade by providing financial support, improving payment systems, and managing trade risks.

The conference will also spotlight digital tools to streamline trade processes, showcasing Nigerian fintech firms, agritech startups, and logistics solutions to attract investors and foster innovation in the trade sector.
