Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) strengthened its large corporates franchise in 2025 by combining strategic expansion with a more integrated operating model.
The acquisition of HSBC South Africa’s corporate portfolio added multinational and domestic relationships, while the creation of treasury and trade solutions brought payments, liquidity, trade, foreign exchange and working-capital capabilities into one proposition.
RMB operates in nine African countries and has a deal footprint spanning 35 markets. Its offices in London, New York, Shanghai and Mumbai provide routes into international investors and capital markets, while representative capabilities in markets including Kenya, Angola and China support local origination and cross-border flows.
The structure is particularly relevant to multinationals, which need consistent services across currencies and jurisdictions but also require local knowledge of regulation, infrastructure and commercial practice.
Financing corporate transformation
RMB’s 2025 activity showed its ability to combine balance sheet capacity with structuring and advisory expertise.
