Chairman's Message
In 2019, Banque Marocaine du Commerce Extérieur celebrated the 60th anniversary of its founding in 1959 by Royal Decree.
This anniversary provides the perfect opportunity to rename our Group ‘BANK OF AFRICA BMCE GROUP’, in preparation for the next phase of our development.
While retaining our identity as a member of the ‘BMCE Group’, the name change underlines our commitment to being an integral part of the pan-African banking landscape thanks to the unparalleled brand power enjoyed by the ‘BANK OF AFRICA’ brand, one with which Africans, whatever their nationality or country of residence, readily identify.

BMCE BANK OF AFRICA becomes

With an international outlook and one of the continent’s leading banking networks, the Bank’s longstanding ambition has been to ensure that the 21st century belongs to Africa.
In 2020, the Bank marked a fresh milestone in its history.
BMCE Bank of Africa becoming Bank of Africa was the next logical step in the Bank’s development. The new name reflects the Bank’s vocation, which is to serve Africa and further expand its global outreach.
The new corporate logo is in the shape of a cut diamond, which is a reference to the African continent. Alongside the logo is the name ‘BANK OF AFRICA’ in bold and its belonging to BMCE Group.
