Angola’s banking sector consists of 26 commercial banks, of which five — BAI, BFA, BIC, BPC, and Banco Millennium Atlântico — control more than 70% of total assets. This guide profiles each of the five, plus the next tier of seven mid-sized banks, plus the regulator (BNA) and the capital market (BODIVA).
For foreign multinationals, the typical primary banking partner is BAI or BFA. For corporate treasury operations, Standard Bank Angola is increasingly the preferred choice given its pan-African parent and ICBC connection.
