Banco Yetu selects Surecomp to digitise trade finance operations in Angola

Banco Yetu has selected Surecomp’s RIVO platform to digitise its trade finance operations, as the Angolan bank looks to scale cross-border trade and improve processing efficiency.

The implementation will introduce AI-driven workflow automation, enhanced compliance controls and faster transaction processing, supporting the bank’s ambitions to expand its trade finance capabilities.

“Trade finance is one of the fundamental pillars of this journey,” said Hibraym Salvaterra Pinto, Coordinating Director at Banco Yetu, highlighting the bank’s focus on driving economic growth through cross-border trade.

The platform, built on cloud-based infrastructure, will enable improved transparency and data insights while reducing manual processes and turnaround times.

The deployment underscores growing investment in trade finance technology across Africa, as banks look to modernise operations and support increasing trade volumes.

For the wider market, the move signals continued momentum behind digital transformation in trade finance, particularly in emerging markets where scalability and efficiency are critical.
