Access Bank Plc, a subsidiary of Access Holdings Plc has entered into a binding agreement for the acquisition of a 100 per cent equity stake in Bidvest Bank Limited.

Bidvest Bank Limited is part of South Africa-based Bidvest Group Limited.

The agreement is part of Access Bankโ€™s plan to strengthen its footprint in South Africa and consolidate its position as the continentโ€™s gateway to global markets as it seeks to optimise the benefits of recent acquisitions and accelerate its transition towards a greater focus on efficiencies.

Founded in 2000, Bidvest Bank is a niche and profitable South African financial institution providing a diverse range of services, including corporate and business banking solutions and diverse retail banking products. As of its financial year ended June 2024, Bidvest Bank reported total assets equivalent to $665.0 million and audited profit before tax of $20.0 million.

The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of2025, subject to regulatory approvals. Upon conclusion of this acquisition, Bidvest Bank will be merged with the Bankโ€™s existing South African subsidiary to create an enlarged platform to anchor the regional growth strategy for the SADC region.

Commenting on the acquisition, Roosevelt Ogbonna, the managing director and chief executive of Access Bank Plc, said:

โ€˜This acquisition supports our ambition to expand across Africa and solidify our presence in key markets, with South Africa being a top priority. It underscores our commitment to establishing a more resilient, diversified, and sustainable business model that leverages technology to meet evolving customer needs. Bidvest Bank provides a unique opportunity to blend its strong local expertise with Access Bankโ€™s robust trade and retail banking capabilities, creating a platform for long-term growth and value creation.โ€

Also commenting, chief executive of Bidvest Group, Mpumi Madisa said:

โ€œAs a well-respected, experienced, and prominent financial services entity, I am pleased that Access Bank meets our objectives and provides reassurance for the continued sustainability and prosperity of the bank. It will enable the bank to advance, scale, and sustainably grow in todayโ€™s fast-changing, technology-driven, and highly competitive sector.โ€

The transaction aligns with Access Bankโ€™s expansion objective to build the scale needed to become a major player in its market.

By leveraging Bidvest Bankโ€™s robust local capabilities and Access Bankโ€™s established pan-African presence, the Bank will have increased capacity for intra- and inter-Africa trade, connecting businesses and creating new opportunities for regional integration.
