RMB Nigeria

Rand Merchant Bank Nigeria Limited (RMBN) was licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 2012 and began formal operations in 2013. RMBN has since added significant value to our Nigerian clients and the Nigerian economy at large, through innovative advisory services on infrastructure projects, mergers and acquisitions, as well as the funding of various transactions across multiple sectors.

We have an extensive pool of investment banking talent, including fixed income, currency and commodities experts who understand the Nigerian and broader African landscape. Our knowledge of local financing requirements, legal and jurisdictional frameworks, together with the expertise and financial strength of FirstRand Bank, enables us to service the needs of our clients in the rapidly expanding Nigerian economy.

Our vision and primary business objective is to create sustainable value, innovative solutions and superior economic returns for our clients and shareholders in Africa and beyond.

The founding of RMB

Once upon a time in 1977, three entrepreneurs: Laurie Dippenaar, GT Ferreira and Pat Goss started a small financial structuring house in Johannesburg.

They called their company Rand Consolidated Investments (RCI) and built the business on the basis of Traditional values. Innovative ideas.

After Pat left the business, a new partner, Paul Harris joined. A few years later, the trio merged their successful lending and financing business with Johann Rupert’s Rand Merchant Bank. They swapped the name RCI for RMB and so the world of RMB came into being.

Making history

The entrepreneurs managed to expand their business from a R10 000 start-up into a financial services empire that would become one of the largest financial services firms in sub-Saharan Africa. In 1998 they established FirstRand Limited through the disposal of Anglo American’s interests in FNB and Southern Life, and the merger of these assets with RMB and Momentum. This was one of the largest transactions in the history of financial services in South Africa.

Today, FirstRand Limited is the largest listed financial services group (by market capitalisation) in Africa.

Our ability to think differently, our collaborative spirit and our entrepreneurial mindset continue to set us apart and enables us to deliver on the founder members’ brand promise: Traditional values. Innovative ideas.
