A steadfast commitment to supporting Africa’s growth

Those of us who work with and within Africa would not have been surprised by the International Monetary Fund’s projection that of the 22 countries projected to grow at +6% this year, 14 of them call the continent home. The Africa growth story is not new, nor is about to end.

On the contrary, initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) are opening new doors and corridors that have historically hin­dered opportunities across the con­tinent, and as more of these opportunities are unlocked, Standard Bank Offshore is ideally positioned to help both corporate and individual clients leverage these opportunities and collectively drive the growth of the continent.

Standard Bank Offshore’s operations in Jersey and its other jurisdictions bridge the gap between Africa and the rest of the world, offering private and corporate clients the solutions to navigate global markets with con­fidence. From facilitating complex cor­porate transactions to providing wealth preservation strategies, our products and services are designed to meet the unique challenges of those con­nected to Africa.

If you’re an African looking to connect with global markets, or a global inves­tor seeking opportunities in Africa, Standard Bank Offshore is your gate­way to achieving your goals.

Leveraging our Group’s proud history of over 160 years as a partner of choice for individuals and businesses across Africa from over 20 sub-Sa­haran locations, and Offshore’s local 30 year plus legacy in its five jurisdic­tions, we have nurtured a growing network of intermediaries who under­stand the global banking challenges their clients face. This is an important channel into the market, and we value the relationships we’ve built in this network.

The benefits to them are clear: our experience and expertise offers their clients an easier entry into global mar­kets.

In a world of shifting borders and boundless opportunity, partnering with Standard Bank Offshore is about more than financial services: we have the expertise, network, and vision to make Africa’s opportunities yours.
