Nigeria’s banking giant, Access Bank, has completed the takeover of Standard Chartered Bank in The Gambia.
The takeover on June 13, 2025, will see Standard Chartered Bank cease to operate in The Gambia after 130 years of operations.
The governor of the Central Bank of The Gambia, Buah Saidy, disclosed this recently during a press conference at The Gambia’s apex bank’s headquarters in Banjul.
Saidy said that the process was smooth, very prudent and transparent, stating that Access Bank bought the 130-year-old financial institution.
He disclosed that, as of Friday, 13 June 2025, Standard Chartered Bank would cease operations, and that the Central Bank would request the return of the bank’s operating licence.
Regarding the employees, Saidy said the central bank was working with Standard Chartered and Access Bank to ensure the staff can transition smoothly into Access Bank to provide stability in the industry.
According to The Standard, a Gambian tabloid, the apex bank boss said Access Bank would be another big bank with strong financial muscles to help finance the economic activities in The Gambia.
