Jeremy Awori

Jeremy Awori leads Ecobank, the only commercial bank operating across 33 African countries under a single brand and one of the closest things the continent has to pan-African banking infrastructure. Through products such as Rapidtransfer, Ecobank enables consumers and businesses to move money across African markets while leveraging a network that spans regions and currencies. Awori's significance lies in the scale of the institution he leads: fintechs can build borderless products quickly, but few organisations possess Ecobank's physical presence, licences and balance sheet across the continent. He belongs on the Borderless 100 because when African banking talks about going pan-African, Ecobank is already there.
