The bank also operates in OECD countries and the developing markets of Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and Asia Pacific. It provides a key link to moving money where its needed, for governments, payment companies, pension schemes, financial institutions, and

CAB’s network, FX liquidity and digital payment rails allow it to deliver efficient, cost-effective FX and payment services facilitating trade and commerce, aid development flows and aggregated remittance flows into and between its focus markets and the rest of the world. A trusted brand, CAB has a long-term commitment to opening and maintaining safer cross-border trade corridors with frontier and emerging countries with a deep commitment to enhancing financial inclusion in the process. In 2019 the group acquired Segovia, a venture-backed technology company focused on frontier and emerging market mobile money payments. As an aggregator, one integration can link clients to more than 18 different Mobile Network operations and, in this way, CAB can help clients with the automation of high volume / low value payments to reach ‘last mile’ communities. At a time of great uncertainty in the world due to COVID-19, CAB offers international development organisations the trust of a 187-year-old UK banking institution that has global partnerships, together with the technical payment solutions of a dynamic US Fintech.
