Our History: Evolving towards Proximity and Innovation
BIC-COMOROS has a rich history that dates back to 1982 when the bank was established as the successor to the Bank of Madagascar and the Comoros. From its beginnings, BIC-COMOROS has positioned itself as a major player in the banking sector in the Comoros, offering quality services to its customers.
In 1990, BIC-COMOROS underwent a significant turning point with the acquisition of a 51% stake by BNP International, strengthening its presence in the Indian Ocean region. At that time, 34% of the shares were owned by the Comorian government, and 15% were held by private shareholders. This step contributed to consolidating the bank’s presence in the territory.
In October 2020, a new chapter began for BIC-COMOROS. The pan-African group, Atlantic Financial Group (AFG), acquired the shares held by BNP Paribas, giving a new strategic direction to the bank. Since this acquisition, BIC-COMOROS has been firmly committed to proximity and innovation.
