Barclays Bank Botswana expects a seamless change of brand from the iconic UK banking group to Absa in 2020, after research showed Batswana had no major hiccups with the transformation.

Barclays is reducing its interests in Africa through the sale of its stake in the Barclays Africa Group holding company to Absa, the well-established South African banking chain.
