Investment Banking

Unique “Middle Africa” franchise focused on transformational solutions for diverse growth sectors, built on 30 years of deal-making and the ability to execute in challenging environments.

Value proposition

A Unique “Middle Africa” Franchise


Ecobank has, in its 30+ years of operation, built a strong franchise in Middle Africa based on its local market knowledge and the financial strength of the Ecobank Group.

As a result of the Group’s presence in 36 Africa countries, Ecobank Capital is able to identify insightful transaction, advisory and deal-making opportunities that might not be visible to international/regional banks and advisory firms.

Rapid Growth


In the last five years, Ecobank has experienced rapid growth in deal volumes and value, each growing by over 50% per annum.

As a result, it is seeking to diversify its traditional debt and balance sheet focus by developing its advisory capabilities and a stronger capital markets presence.

Focused on Partnerships


Ecobank is focusing on building substantive partnerships with banks and other financial institutions, aimed at diversifying its service offerings.

Key Goals


To enhance advisory capabilities on complex, capital-intensive projects, such as oil and gas/power infrastructure.

To widen our distribution network to include international non-bank financial institutions looking for exposure to African assets.

To strengthen our relationships with private equity and debt investors by providing access to our local knowledge network
