Stanbic Bank Ghana has been named Ghana’s Best Investment Bank at the prestigious Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, contributing to Standard Bank Group’s impressive tally of 17 awards across Africa.
For more than 30 years, Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence have recognised financial institutions that set the global standard in performance, innovation and client impact. The recognition highlights Stanbic Bank Ghana’s continued leadership in delivering innovative corporate and investment banking solutions that support economic growth, facilitate investment and enable businesses to achieve their strategic ambitions.
Standard Bank Group was recognised for its excellence across securities services, corporate and investment banking, and SME banking in Africa’s key markets, reaffirming its position as the continent’s leading financial services provider.
The accolades awarded to the Group include Africa’s Best SME Banking Ecosystem, Africa’s Best for Securities Services and Africa’s Best Investment Bank for Equity Capital Markets.
Sim Tshabalala, Standard Bank Group CEO, said: “The awards recognise Standard Bank’s ability to serve clients across the full spectrum of the economy, from entrepreneurs and SMEs to multinational corporates, institutional investors and governments. We continue to drive sustainable growth on the continent by connecting capital to opportunity and supporting trade, infrastructure, energy and economic development.
