“Can a West African banking and insurance conglomerate digitally transform its multi-country franchise to become the dominant bancassurance and SME finance platform across WAEMU?”
NSIA Group is a major West/Sub-Saharan African financial conglomerate operating across banking, insurance, and asset management. The group expanded its banking footprint significantly with the 2022 acquisition of four Sanlam Group African subsidiaries into its NSIA Finance arm. It is currently executing a digital transformation strategy via the SBS core banking platform and expanding SME credit access through structured securitization transactions across WAEMU markets, while also attracting international impact capital for green and financial-inclusion lending.
