Sequel to our announcement of August 6, 2020, the Board of Access Bank Plc (“the Bank”) today announces that its Zambian subsidiary, Access Bank (Zambia) Limited has completed the acquisition of Cavmont Bank Limited (“Cavmont”), following fulfillment of the key conditions precedent including regulatory approvals.
The merger of Cavmont into Access Bank Zambia is expected to take place before the end of January 2021, following which Access Bank Zambia will emerge as a stronger and well-capitalized banking franchise with improved scale and capacity to deliver sustainable and best-in-class financial services in the Zambian market.
