GroBank is focussed on supporting the food and agriculture value chain in South Africa, comprising business ranging from farms to food manufacturers, retailers, transporters, importers / exporters and more.

In 2019 the bank changed its name from South African Bank of Athens established 74 years ago, to GroBank.

Here's how the bank ranked in 2018 on the list of local banks in SA.

Should they have acquired a bigger bank or do they see growth potential in the agricultural banking sector instead? What's the strategy coz this is a rather low-key acquisition.

New data shows it takes a lot to get South Africans to change banks. So will Access Bank be able to grow customer numbers?

Gradually changing. So it's a long term investment I guess. Needs patience.

The size of the acquisition company does not really matter.. What's important is how much money access bank is planning to invest on their new acquisition...

See Nigerian's with their potopoto mentality. Nigerian banks leaving the their own country to invest in others. Nigerian farmer's and businesses are usually the losers.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this South African Bank which Access Bank just acquired is a deadweight...I would like to see their financial reports for the last 5 years

AccessBank isn't the largest bank in Nigeria. It's not even in top 3.
