Bank of Africa UK draws its unique trade finance expertise from the 50-year experience of its parent company, Banque Marocaine du Commerce Extérieur (BMCE), as an international trade financier between Africa and the rest of the world.

The Trade Finance team takes advantage of BMCE’s strategic interest in the African continent as well as a good understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by the continent to establish business relationships with selected African financial institutions, including the Bank of Africa Group.
