At Sibos 2025, Gilly Wright, Global Finance’s Technology and Transaction Banking editor, interviews Isaac Kamuta, Group Head, Payments, Cash Management & Client Access at Ecobank, about its solutions for helping clients collect and make payments and manage liquidity, supporting their growth objectives within and across Africa.
Ecobank, which has consistently achieved recognition for excellence in cash management and the maintenance of client trust, provides a seamless unified network that simplifies operations for clients managing payments, collections, and liquidity across multiple markets in 33 African countries, as well as several locations outside the continent.
In the interview, Kamuta cites the bank’s significant investments, not just in technology but in providing technology-oriented to solutions for clients. “We have been able to build very good solutions that have served our clients well, especially when it comes to moving value across multiple countries,” he says.
For example, Ecobank’s Pan-African solutions, such as RapidCollect and virtual accounts, help businesses overcome payment challenges and capitalize on opportunities within the African Continental Free Trade Area, the world’s largest free trade area by number of countries.
“If you are a treasurer of a business that is present or doing business in multiple countries, you want a single connection to those countries directly, without having to go through third parties, which introduces friction and increases the cost of doing business.”
