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.”

Lewis added that, “this collaboration underscores the power of partnerships in driving positive change. By leveraging the strengths of both AFREXIMBANK and Sterling Bank, we amplify our collective impact and pave the way for a more resilient and inclusive economy.”

 

Speaking on the partnership, director & Global head of Trade Finance, AFREXIMBANK, Gwen Mwaba noted that, “the launch in Nigeria is a first step in AFREXIMBANK’s plans to introduce Payables Finance across Africa in partnership with leading African financial institutions.

 

“The product, which will deploy world-class technology and a collaborative delivery model, aligns with the Bank’s vision of Transforming Africa’s Trade, and will contribute towards the achievement of the Bank’s strategic objective of reducing the trade-finance gap in Africa, especially for the SME segment.”

 

Payables Finance is the fastest-growing trade finance product globally and there is an enormous opportunity for African businesses to benefit from this product, adopting the latest technologies that are now available.
