Banque pour le Commerce et l'Industrie BCI

Your West African bank

The BCI Group

The BCI Group: After obtaining approval from the Central Bank of Mauritania, Banque pour le Commerce et l'Industrie (BCI SA) opened its doors in Nouakchott in September 1999.

In a country considered to be a link between the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa, in a narrow, competitive market, the new institution will quickly establish itself on the banking scene.

Subsequently, it expanded by opening subsidiaries in three other West African countries: Mali, Guinea and Senegal, thus becoming a West African bank.
