Rokel Commercial Bank (RCBank) is making waves at the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2025) in Algiers, where it is positioning itself as a leading facilitator of cross-border trade, investment and digital financial innovation.
The IATF, Africa’s premier trade and investment marketplace, has drawn more than 35,000 visitors, 2,000 exhibitors and participants from over 130 countries. The platform offers vast opportunities for businesses and financial institutions to strengthen ties and expand their reach across the continent.
RCBank’s delegation has been actively engaging in high-level discussions with key partners, including Afrexim Bank and Oakwood Green Africa. The talks focused on strengthening collaborations across diverse business lines while exploring opportunities through the Africa Trade Gateway (ATG) platform, a hub designed to connect African markets.
Speaking at the Bank’s exhibition booth, RCBank’s Deputy Managing Director stressed the institution’s ambition to extend its influence beyond Sierra Leone, aiming to establish itself as a credible regional financial player that can support intra-African trade and investment flows.
The Bank’s team also held engagements with Sierra Leone’s Minister of Trade and Industry and the country’s Ambassador to Algeria, underscoring the alignment of its efforts with Sierra Leone’s broader national trade and investment agenda.
In a significant development, Afrexim Bank has invited RCBank to participate in its forthcoming Trade Finance Seminars in Nigeria. This opportunity is expected to enhance the Bank’s expertise and strengthen its partnerships in the vital area of trade financing.
Through its active participation in IATF2025, RCBank is showcasing its readiness to play a transformative role in Africa’s financial integration. By leveraging its innovative digital banking solutions, SME-focused services and strong institutional partnerships, the Bank is demonstrating its commitment to empowering entrepreneurs, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and connecting large-scale businesses with new opportunities across the continent.
