AGRI-BANKING : Bange Bank Cameroon wins the Financial Innovation Award in Dubai

(LVDE) – This recognition came during the Reinvention Awards MEA 2025, an international event celebrating financial initiatives transforming the banking sector across the Middle East and Africa, and supporting banks’ commitment to financial inclusion and agricultural development. The award ceremony took place on November 20, 2025, in Dubai.

On November 19 and 20, 2025, Dubai hosted a major event for the banking sector: the Reinvention Awards MEA 2025. Organized by Qorus as part of the Reinvent Forum, the gathering brought together numerous finance experts and professionals eager to share and celebrate innovations reshaping the banking landscape in the Middle East and Africa. It is in this context that Bange Bank Cameroon was honored with a remarkable distinction.

The Cameroonian bank received recognition for its Agri-Banking initiative, which earned the Financial Innovation Award. This international distinction reflects not only Bange Bank’s efforts to improve access to banking services, but also its commitment to the agricultural sector, a cornerstone of Cameroon’s economy.

The Agri-Banking project focuses on enhancing the availability of financial services for farmers and rural entrepreneurs. By integrating technological solutions and modern banking practices, Bange Bank aims to overcome the obstacles these actors often face in accessing credit and resources needed to grow their activities. Through this initiative, the bank also promotes financial inclusion for a segment of the population often overlooked by traditional banking services.

The recognition received at the Reinvention Awards thus crowns sustained and consistent efforts. “This international recognition highlights our desire to innovate in order to better serve our customers, support rural stakeholders, and promote accessible, modern, and sustainable finance,” said a Bange Bank representative.

This honor aligns with Bange Bank Cameroon’s broader strategy, which aims not only to position the institution as a leading player in the local banking sector, but also to contribute to the country’s overall economic development. As Cameroon is an agricultural nation, supporting farmers and rural businesses is not merely a strategic choice, but a necessity for sustainable development.

The bank remains committed to building a customer-centric and forward-looking financial institution. “Our ambition is to foster the emergence of sustainable agriculture and contribute to the economic well-being of rural communities,” added a Bange Bank representative.
