Absa internationally recognized for its support of trade in Mozambique

Absa was recognized by the international magazine Global Finance as the Best Trade Finance Bank in Mozambique, South Africa and Botswana, as part of the Best Trade Finance Providers Awards 2026.

More than just recognition, this distinction translates into a direct impact for the country. In a context where international trade is essential for economic growth, Absa has been strengthening its support for its clients, facilitating access to solutions that allow them to import, export, manage risks, and optimize working capital with greater efficiency and security.

Global Finance's assessment considered criteria such as transaction volume, global trade coverage, service excellence, price competitiveness, and digital innovation—factors that have allowed Absa to position itself as one of the leading trade facilitators in the region.

In a context where trade finance is increasingly influenced by technological evolution, new regulatory requirements, and the reconfiguration of trade routes, Absa combines local knowledge with a strong regional presence, helping Mozambican companies to grow, scale up, and compete across borders.

Patricia Darsam, Director of Corporate and Investment Banking at Absa Bank Mozambique, states: “This award is, above all, a reflection of our teams' commitment to our clients. We work daily to understand their needs, anticipate challenges, and present solutions that truly make a difference in their businesses. It is this close relationship, combined with our capacity for execution and innovation, that allows us to support the growth of commerce and contribute to the development of the economies where we operate.”

This distinction reinforces the role of the Absa Group as one of the main facilitators of trade in Southern Africa, positioning the Bank at the forefront of supporting the growth of Mozambican companies in regional and international markets.
