On August 21, 2025, El Amana Bank did what only great institutions know how to do: receive, with the discreet grace of established establishments, those now designated as the winners of the Financial Afrik Hackathon.
In the impeccably ordered lounges of the institution, Amadou Sulayman Bal, Director of Development, Performance and Promotion, and Ahmed Ahmed Ely, Head of the Business Agency, distributed tokens of attention with the restraint of those who know that authority is demonstrated more than displayed. By their side, Dia El Hadj, Director of Financial Afrik Mauritania, embodied the bridge between the vibrant world of new ideas and the codified universe of banking elites.
The young laureates, freshly honored, were offered what could be called, in knowledgeable circles, a true entry card: the gracious opening of a business account, with a Visa card, exemption from administrative fees. This endowment was complemented by access to the Amenty service and a certification training on financial responsibility, an elegant way to remind that in finance, respectability always precedes ambition.
Because behind the conventional smiles and the customary congratulations, everyone understood the essential: consecration does not lie in winning a competition, but in the silent approval of a respectable bank. By initiating these young minds into the codes of financial insiders, El Amana Bank reminded that the future, to exist, must first be recognized by those who already hold the keys to the present.
