Our Mission
The African Banker Awards are designed to
recognise the reforms, rapid modernisation,
consolidation, integration and expansion of
Africa’s banking and financial system.
Recognising
Africa’s
achievements in
banking
The African Banker Awards is a landmark
annual event for African banking taking
place during the annual meetings of the
African Development Bank. Organised by
African Banker magazine and IC Events in
co-operation with BusinessinAfrica Events, the
African Banker Awards celebrates excellence
and best practices in African banking.
Recognising the 400 personalities and banks
that are driving Africa’s rapidly transforming
financial sector, the African Banker Awards
bring together industry leaders from Africa
and the world to celebrate the achievements of
those who are driving growth and development
and creating new economic opportunities for
citizens and communities all over the continent
and inspire new generations of bankers who are
shaping Africa’s future.

A diversity of awards
Our categories highlight the achievements of companies and
individuals that contribute to the transformation and
development of Africa’s financial sector. They focus on areas
important to the finance community and their stakeholders.
We review our categories every year to ensure the Awards
remain relevant and take into account the changing realities
on the ground.
Selection and
judging process
Following a call for entries our advisory committee shortlists nominees
for each category from the pool of submissions. The committee is made
up of our editorial board and experts with an in-depth knowledge of the
African banking and finance sector. Our independent expert judging
panel with extensive expertise across the African regions will then select
the winners based on a number of specific criteria from the shortlist. The
winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony. To find out more
about the judges and the selection process please visit :
