NSIA Banque has taken a new major step in its regional development with its entities in Benin, Guinea, as well as its branches in Togo and Senegal. These entities have obtained the international MSI 20000 certification, issued by the independent organization COFICERT, a multi-standard organization specialized in financial and extra-financial certification. The information was made public on Monday, July 28, 2025 by the managers of the pan-African group NSIA

The MSI 20000 certification, carried by the International Group for Sustainable Finance (IGSF), is the first global standard assessing the quality of the financial situation of companies. It is based on a rigorous analysis of data from the last five consecutive financial years, covering in particular equity, operational profitability, credit risk management and portfolio quality. According to the managers of NSIA Banque Côte d'Ivoire, “this recognition, which follows the certification of NSIA Banque Côte d'Ivoire in 2023, confirms the solid financial governance of the NSIA Group Banking division and its desire to meet the most demanding international standards”.

For his part, Souheil Skander, CEO of COFICERT Group, indicated that “the MSI 20000 Standard provides information on the solvency and financial governance of economic and financial entities. The certification to the MSI 20000 Standard is a real benchmark and quality reference. Particularly observed and appreciated, it offers an undeniable competitive and differentiating advantage. Over time and around the world, the MSI 20000 certification has become an essential certification for financial institutions, for and in favor of their development. It is the certification of guarantees, opportunities and synergies.”
