Grobank first entered the market in 1947 as the South African Bank of Athens, delivering world-class business banking services through a team of highly experienced, dedicated Relationship Managers. We gained repute for leading business banking service built from a base of relationships, as well as market-leading, niche alliance banking operating in partnership with businesses. We’re built on a history of relationship, insight and true collaboration. People helping people has always mattered.
In answer to a growing market gap in the agricultural sector, Grobank’s partnership with its shareholders, including the Afgri Group, has seen us evolve our offering to take advantage of our shared knowledge of business banking and the food and agriculture industry to focus on the holistic food and agricultural value chain, from seed to service.
Today Grobank operates as a commercial specialist across every area of this value chain, whilst also offering an expanding range of capabilities and services to businesses outside of this sector.
Our food and business offering, coupled with our continuous leadership in the alliance banking market as well as our service-driven attitude to banking means we’re a bank that truly does offer something that will change the lives of our customers and stakeholders.
By harnessing the best of our specialities, our strong customer relationships and a deeply intricate understanding of our market, we’re here to garner new opportunities, grow with our clients, support food security and innovate new products and services to advance our people, our partners and our continent.
