Barclays Botswana initiates identity shift to Absa

Speaking at an event to mark the shift, acting managing director, Mumba Kalifungwa said that the changeover would transform the bank into a modern, fast thinking and relevant bank.

“Barclays Bank of Botswana will be renamed at a later stage, subject to regulatory and other approvals in the country. We will continue to trade and operate under the Barclays brand in Barclays brand in Botswana even though our parent name has changed to Absa Group Limited,” he said.
