“ We ’ re very proud of the Barclays brand , and were aware that there would be a transition period ,” notes Bachoonum . “ It is a chance for us to become a regional bank instead of a global one . It ’ s a great opportunity for us to become a completely African driven bank . The business is very confident and is embracing the Absa brand . We need to create opportunities for our customers .”
Set to become a completely different franchise , the organisation remains passionate in reinforcing its strong roots within Mauritius . Bachoonum is incredibly positive on what the future holds for the organisation , where it will remain active on the main continent , look at new customer-led innovations , such as the mobile wallet , and explore further territories as part of its five-year plan . “ We want to really mark ourselves in the local market but also in the offshore market ,” he concludes . “ We have a plan , and we are moving steadily in the right direction to achieve our goals .”
