The innovation is launched under the aegis of the Africa Trade Gateway (ATG), to provide banks across the continent with the tools to gather market information, connect buyers and sellers across the continent, and facilitate payments in local currencies across African countries. The launch event, held in Lagos makes Sterling Bank the pioneer bank for Nigeria.

This partnership between African Export-Import Bank (AFREXIMBANK) and Sterling Bank is a unique and innovative arrangement that leverages the complementary strengths of both institutions to provide a comprehensive, market-leading solution to Nigerian corporations and their suppliers.

Under the partnership arrangement, USD and EUR financing is provided by AFREXIMBANK, and NGN financing is provided by Sterling Bank. Suppliers to Nigerian corporates can thus benefit from financing in both local and foreign currency, as per their requirements.

The managing director of Sterling Bank, Abubakar Suleiman said: “Sterling Bank is committed to meeting the trade finance needs of Nigerian corporates and their suppliers and we are proud to introduce this much-needed product in partnership with AFREXIMBANK for the benefit of Nigerian businesses.”
