Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>(Togo First) – Ecobank Togo, a subsidiary of the eponymous pan-African banking group, was named best bank of the year by The Banker, a magazine released by Financial Times. The bank received the title during the Banker Awards 2021 held earlier this month.<\/p>\n

According to the US magazine, this is the second consecutive year that Ecobank Togo gets the title – an achievement that it owes to its \u201cincreased adhesion to fintech culture\u201d and the digitalization of its services.<\/p>\n

In June this year, Ecobank Togo partnered with Semoa, a local fintech that launched a WhatsApp-based banking service with the help of Ecobank\u2019s Xpress Account API.<\/p>\n

“We are continuously investing to automate transactions and provide state-of-the-art digital solutions to our customers,” said Souleymane Tour\u00e9, managing director of Ecobank Togo.<\/p>\n

In Togo, Ecobank also launched its Ellevate product aimed at empowering women across the country. The product, available in 32 other countries, targets a minimum of 50,000 businesswomen per year, lending them $100 million.<\/p>\n

Besides Togo, the Ecobank subsidiaries in the Gambia and Guinea Bissau were also named by The Banker as the best bank of the year in the two countries.<\/p>\n
