FNB has operations in seven sub-Saharan African countries and has launched its banking apps and digital services into these. Nedbank has a presence in most neighbouring countries and is now looking to East Africa. Barclays is well entrenched across the region. Stanbic is one of the largest banking networks on the continent, with representation in 19 African countries and more than 1 100 branches.
