As we reflect on the German President’s visit, Access Bank reaffirms its pivotal role in deepening Nigeria-Germany trade relations. Central to this effort is our partnership with DEG (the German Investment Corporation) and the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria (AHK Nigeria), both of which have played a significant role in supporting the success of our German Desk.. This collaboration has enabled us to support over 100 businesses, helping them navigate local markets with tailored solutions that facilitate international trade and economic growth. The German Desk, led by Sebastiao Barroso da Fonseca, works closely with our partners Bernd Tilemann and Roland Siller of DEG, as well as the AHK Nigeria team, to ensure seamless cross-border transactions, local market integration, and financial solutions for German and European clients across Sub-Saharan Africa. #AccessBank #AccessBankGermanDesk #NigeriaGermanyTradeRelations #MoreThanBanking
