Afriland Bourse & Investissement

What Afriland Bourse & Investissement does

Afriland Bourse & Investissement S.A. is a licensed brokerage firm (Société de Bourse) established in 2019 and headquartered in Yaoundé, Cameroon, operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Afriland First Bank. Under COSUMAF license MFAC-SDB-01/2019, it intermediates securities transactions on the BVMAC (Bourse des Valeurs Mobilières de l'Afrique Centrale) and across the six-country CEMAC monetary zone (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Chad). Its offering is organized around five regulated activities: capital raising and underwriting; order reception and transmission (for equities, bonds, OTAs, BTAs); financial investment advisory; financial canvassing; and other COSUMAF-authorized activities such as portfolio management and securities custody. Distribution is anchored by integration with Afriland First Bank's branch network, where securities accounts are linked to bank current and savings accounts, complemented by a secured Espace Client web portal for investor profiling, portfolio simulation and electronic order routing.

The firm operates a relationship-driven, sales-led go-to-market, combining direct advisor engagement, in-person and remote canvassing, and a small footprint of digital channels (corporate website, client portal, WhatsApp). Pricing is transaction-based under a published Grille Tarifaire (September 2025), with explicit "flexible and accessible" positioning. Its customer base spans individual retail investors, enterprises and public/parapublic institutions seeking capital-raising solutions, and government/quasi-government issuers (ECMR, BDEAC, EOTD, EOG) for which Afriland acts as arranger or syndicate member. The firm has co-led significant sovereign bond transactions, including the 2022 Cameroon State issuance (ECMR 6.50% NET 2022-2029) that raised 180.50 billion FCFA, alongside BGFI Bourse, Société Générale Capital Securities Central Africa, and UPLINE Securities Central Africa. No proprietary AI/ML systems are disclosed; the technology substrate is conventional brokerage infrastructure with a digital client portal.
