- On January 28, 1957, the Commercial Bank of Angola was founded in Luanda, where it has its headquarters.
- The Commercial Bank of Angola gave the origins to the popular Angolan bank, which mainly acted as a bank to absorb personal savings.
Banco Comercial de Angola (BCA) was established in 1996 during a pivotal time in Angola’s history. Emerging from the shadows of a prolonged civil conflict, the bank aimed to provide essential financial services that would support economic growth and development in the nation. With a vision of fostering stability and prosperity, BCA positioned itself as a key player in the Angolan banking sector.
The bank’s development was clearly in line with the agricultural, commercial and industrial development of the region in which it was located, successfully capturing savings and continuous profits in areas where financial activity was underdeveloped.
