Banking institutions are no longer a thing for others as in the past. Individuals and enterprises of all sizes can obtain suitable financial solutions with banks for their projects. BICEC is a French acronym standing for “Banque Internationale du Cameroun pour l’Eparge et le Credit”. It is one of the largest known financial institutions in Cameroon and a reliable one to recommend. 

History of BICEC

The institution BICEC was set up on the 14th of March 1997 after the liquidation of BICIC that occurred under extremely challenging economic conditions.

In March 1997 BICEC was established after a decision by the Board of Directors of BICIC. The new entity saw its management handed over to Groupe Banque Populaire. GBP had a mission to make the Bank profitable and draw its way towards privatization. This mission was successfully realized within 3 years as initially requested.

BICEC became in the year 2000 a subsidiary of le Groupe Banque Populaire which later became in 2011 le Groupe Banque Populaire Caisse d’Epargne (Groupe BPCE).

The changes went on paving the way for BICEC which became a subsidiary of Groupe BCP (Banque Centrale Populaire) on October 1st, 2019.

In Africa, BCP is the sixth-largest banking group in terms of equity with a remarkable presence in thirty countries. As a subsidiary of BCP, partners, and customers of BICEC benefit from the support of the well-established banking group. Their expertise is made available as a means of providing added value to the Cameroonian economy.
