Vista Bank Group now operates in Burkina-Faso, a strategic point of entry into the WAEMU market\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vista Bank Group (\u2018Vista\u2019) has closed the deal to acquire BNP Paribas\u2019 majority interest in La Banque Internationale pour le Commerce l\u2019Industrie et l\u2019Agriculture du Burkina (BICIAB) in Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n

The acquisition adds to Vista\u2019s existing banks in Guinea, Sierra Leone and The Gambia.\u00a0BICIAB will be rebranded as Vista Bank Burkina.<\/p>\n

Afreximbank advised and structured the financing of\u00a0this transaction, which helps to fill the gap created by the exit of international banks from the continent. In addition to enabling Vista to fill this gap, Afreximbank’s support also enhances the capacity of the newly named Vista Bank Burkina to provide expanded services that will stimulate trade and develop investment opportunities in the region.<\/p>\n

Deloitte and Astura handled the financial due diligence and legal aspects of the deal respectively.\u00a0The following law firms worked with Astura:\u00a0Perkins Coie LLP in respect of US law; Solie Law Chambers (Gambia) in respect of Gambia laws; Thiam & Associes (Guinee) and Bile-Aka Brizoua-Bi & Associes (Cote D\u2019Ivoire) in respect of OHADA; and\u00a0Yada Williams & Associates in respect of Sierra Leone laws.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Ba, formerly at BNP Paribas has been appointed as the new Managing Director of Vista Bank Burkina.<\/p>\n

Simon Tiemtore, Chairman of Vista Group , said: \u201cThis is a milestone event in Vista\u2019s growth strategy. The appointment of Mohamed Ba allows us to benefit from his expertise and the acquisition of BICIAB in Burkina Faso establishes our footprint in the West African Monetary Union (WAEMU) region before expanding further. Vista\u2019s acquisition of BICIAB allows us to benefit from their excellent portfolio of high net worth and large blue-chip corporate customer segments complementing our existing focus on the small and medium enterprises (SME) and mass retail sectors. Vista now has both the scale and the critical momentum to deliver on our digital and intra-African trade strategies in West Africa in time for the immense benefits from the impending implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Vista has an intense customer-centric focus and ongoing investments in technology to fulfil its digital strategy.<\/p>\n

Following integration, BICIAB\u2019s customers will further benefit from Vista\u2019s core banking system, state of the art digital and mobile banking products, services, functionality and solutions.<\/p>\n
