  • BNP Paribas, HSBC, Sasfin Bank and Bidvest Bank have all announced massive changes to their South African operations in 2024. French-based BNP Paribas was the first bank of the four to announce changes to its South African operations, with it no longer operating as a bank in South Africa.

The article from BusinessTech discusses the closure of four banks in South Africa in 2024, highlighting the challenges faced by smaller banking institutions in the country. The banks that have ceased operations include Ubank, which was acquired by African Bank, and three other smaller banks: Finbond Mutual Bank, Bank Zero, and TymeBank. The closures are attributed to a combination of factors such as regulatory pressures, economic conditions, and competition from larger, more established banks. The article notes that these closures reflect broader trends in the South African banking sector, where smaller banks struggle to maintain profitability and compliance with stringent financial regulations. Additionally, the article touches on the impact on customers, with some banks offering transition support to help clients move their accounts to other financial institutions.
