Absa: Leading Financial Services Group in Africa

Absa (formerly known as Barclays Africa) is a pan-African financial services group that operates in 12 countries across the continent. The company was formed in 2013 when Barclays, a UK-based bank, sold its African operations to a consortium of investors led by the South African financial institution, Absa Group Limited.

Absa offers a range of financial products and services, including retail and business banking, corporate and investment banking, wealth management, and insurance. The company has a strong presence in South Africa, where it is one of the largest banks, as well as in other countries across sub-Saharan Africa, such as Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

Absa's vision is to be the leading financial services group in Africa, and it aims to achieve this by providing innovative and customer-centric solutions that support the growth and development of individuals, businesses, and communities across the continent.
