It was in that context and in recognition of the important role that access to finance plays in the growth of businesses that the FEWACCI Founding Members thought that the first transnational corporation to be established should be a regional bank that would understand the need of the people and that would dedicate itself to meeting those needs.
Thus they promoted and set-up the first West African bank, ECOBANK Transnational, which today has grown to be one of the leading banks in Africa as its operations and reach have gone beyond the confines of the West African Region. After its revival by the ECOWAS Commission, FEWACCI has set a goal to continue pursuing major integration projects initiated by the Founding Members to their effective realisation.
FEWACCI is currently promoting a regional maritime company, the West Africa Sealink Company, to provide reliable and affordable maritime transport services to business operators in order to increase intra-Community trade.
