[ad_1]

This change of image is part of an agreement reached in May 2017 whereby Barclays, a British company, sold Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) to South African Absa Group.

This change name should affect its subsidiaries across Africa, said Barclays

Absa Group holds the majority stake in banks in Botswana, Ghana, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles and Tanzania

Barclays Africa operates in 12 countries with approximately 40,000 employees, serving nearly 12 million customers.

The Barclays brand can only be used in the rest of Africa until June 6, 2020, subject to extension for two years for debit and credit cards

The Group is expected to expand its corporate and investment banking activities to certain international jurisdictions, with the opening of offices in London and later in New York, under the name of Absa Securities.
