About Banque BIA
Banque BIA operates under the “Banque Internationale pour l’Afrique” banner in select West African markets and functions as a universal bank serving retail, SME, and corporate clients. Its core offering typically includes current and savings accounts, term deposits, debit/credit cards (often Visa-branded), domestic and international transfers via regional schemes and SWIFT, foreign exchange services, consumer and business loans, trade finance instruments (letters of credit, guarantees), and cash management for enterprises. Distribution relies on branch networks in main urban centers, ATMs, and basic to mid-range digital channels covering balance inquiries, intra-bank and interbank transfers, bill payments, and card controls; service levels and feature depth can vary by country and entity. Pricing is published on local tariff schedules and commonly incorporates account maintenance fees, transfer and cash-handling charges, card issuance/renewal fees, ATM withdrawal fees (especially out-of-network), and FX margins. Onboarding generally requires government ID, proof of address, and source-of-funds documentation; non-resident policies, minimum opening balances, and transaction limits are set by the local entity. Compliance follows applicable AML/CFT rules, sanctions screening, and KYC procedures; cross-border payments may be subject to additional checks and correspondent bank fees. Oversight and deposit protection depend on jurisdiction; where the bank operates within the West African Economic and Monetary Union, supervision is by the regional authorities and deposits are covered by the regional guarantee mechanism, while other markets apply their own frameworks. Noted constraints include variability in digital functionality across countries, reliance on correspondent networks for foreign transfers, possible processing delays during enhanced due diligence, and exposure to currency or capital-control measures in certain markets. Customers should review the local BIA entity’s official schedule of conditions and channel-specific limits before opening an account or initiating international transactions.
