Banque Atlantique Togo, a subsidiary of the pan-African group Banque Centrale Populaire (BCP), was named “Best Partner” of the African Guarantee Fund and Economic Cooperation (FAGACE) for the 2024-2025 period, during the regional closing ceremony held on May 16th in Lomé. This distinction highlights the effectiveness of the strategic partnership between Banque Atlantique and FAGACE, serving financial inclusion and structured financing of Togolese companies.
The trophy, accompanied by a Certificate of Excellence, was presented to Mr. Abdoulatiphe DERMANE, Director of Operations of Banque Atlantique Togo, representing the General Manager, in the presence of Mr. Basile TCHAKOUNTE, Secretary General of FAGACE, and Dr. Stéphane Kpowbié Tchasso AKAYA, Secretary General of the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Togo.
The bank also received financial support to strengthen the skills of four of its employees in key areas such as finance, risk management, and banking innovation.
In 2024, Banque Atlantique Togo distinguished itself as the leading financial institution in terms of guaranteed transaction volume, with a total of nearly 12 billion CFA francs mobilized for reference companies. These performances reflect the optimal use of FAGACE mechanisms to effectively meet the growing needs for structured financing, thus supporting the country’s economic dynamism.
“This recognition demonstrates our ability to sustainably support entrepreneurial initiatives, in perfect harmony with the vision and commitments of the BCP Group,” said Mr. DERMANE.
Through this distinction, Banque Atlantique Togo reaffirms its role as a trusted partner of the private sector, while strengthening its commitment alongside the government for the financing of structuring projects, in support of inclusive and sustainable development in Togo.
