About us

The African Commerce Bank is a pioneering African trade platform dedicated to revolutionizing the way commodities are exchanged across Africa and the global market. We bridge the gap between suppliers, vendors, investors, and governments, offering a secure, transparent, and efficient space for contract negotiations, currency settlements, and trade management. Our goal is to empower African economies, elevate local communities, and facilitate ethical trade practices that align with global standards.

Founded on the rich historical aspirations of the All-African People’s Conferences (AAPC) held in Accra, Ghana, in December 1958, our company embodies the vision of a unified and prosperous Africa. The conference, led by the distinguished Hon. Tom Mboya, brought together representatives from 28 African nations, speaking for over 200 million Africans, including business leaders, political figures, trade unions, and civil society organizations.

The resolutions from the conference set forth ambitious goals:

• An African common market to facilitate trade among African nations.
• The removal of customs barriers between African states.
• Raising the living standards of African people through economic cooperation.
• The establishment of a development bank to finance critical projects.

These historic ideals are not just part of our heritage—they are our guiding principles. We are committed to realizing the dreams of our ancestors by creating a modern trade infrastructure that promotes fair, conflict-free, and sustainable commerce.

Our Role in Modern Trade

We offer an advanced platform where suppliers and vendors can seamlessly connect, negotiate, and complete transactions with confidence. Through our services, we provide:

• Contract Management: We handle both digital and traditional paper contracts, giving users flexibility and control.
• Currency Settlement: We facilitate multi-currency transactions, converting funds at current market rates to ensure smooth cross-border trade.
• Escrow Services: We offer secure escrow solutions to protect both buyers and sellers, ensuring fair outcomes for all parties.
• Dedicated Agents: Each user is assigned a personal agent or manager to negotiate contracts on their behalf, providing professional support every step of the way.

Certifying Ethical Trade Practices

In line with our commitment to ethical and sustainable trade, we conduct frequent checks on stakeholders who intend to do business through our platform. Our certification process ensures that suppliers and vendors uphold decent work environments and adhere to basic human rights standards. This includes:

• Regular Audits: Random and scheduled inspections to ensure compliance with ethical labor practices.
• Transparency Reports: Issuing certificates of good conduct to companies that maintain high standards in employee welfare and workplace conditions.
• Community Accountability: Ensuring that trade practices contribute positively to local communities and minimize environmental impact.

We believe that by maintaining high ethical standards, we not only protect the rights and dignity of workers but also foster trust, stability, and long-term growth in Africa.

Our Commitment to African Prosperity

We are driven by a vision of Africa where trade empowers local communities, strengthens economies, and fosters peace. By providing a platform that supports ethical business practices, fair negotiations, and transparent trade processes, we contribute to the development goals set forth over six decades ago.

Our platform also reinvests a portion of its profits into small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Africa. These investments fuel entrepreneurship, create jobs, and improve the living standards of African people, fulfilling the economic aspirations of the 1958 All-African People’s Conferences.
