Speaking at the bank’s exhibition booth, RCBank’s Deputy Managing Director emphasized the institution’s ambition to gain recognition beyond Sierra Leone’s borders, projecting itself as a regional financial player capable of supporting intra-African trade.
The RCBank team also engages with Sierra Leone’s Minister of Trade and Industry as well as the country’s Ambassador to Algeria, underscoring the importance of aligning the bank’s efforts with national trade and investment goals.
Meanwhile, Afrexim Bank has extended an invitation to RCBank to participate in its upcoming Trade Finance Seminars in Nigeria, an opportunity expected to further deepen the bank’s expertise and partnerships in trade financing.
By leveraging platforms like IATF, RCBank is demonstrating its readiness to play a transformative role in Africa’s financial integration, supporting entrepreneurs, SMEs, and large-scale businesses in connecting with opportunities across the continent.
