Banque Atlantique Ci, ATC Comafrique Team up on Auto Loans

In Short

Banque Atlantique Côte d’Ivoire has signed a partnership with ATC Comafrique to make it easier for customers to buy new vehicles using tailored financing.

What Happened

Banque Atlantique Côte d’Ivoire announced a new partnership with ATC Comafrique on October 8, 2026, following a signing ceremony held on October 6 in Abidjan.

The agreement is designed to support new-vehicle purchases through financing offers that fit different customer needs. In simple terms, it is a structured way to borrow money for a car purchase, with repayment terms set upfront.

The partners said the offer targets both individuals and companies. That includes personal car buyers and businesses that need vehicles for staff transport, sales teams, or operations.

The signing was attended by Arsène Coulibaly, CEO of Banque Atlantique, alongside Jocelyne N’Guessan, Deputy CEO Corporate, and Bernard Wackers, Deputy CEO of ATC Comafrique.

Why It Matters

Auto financing is a practical way to spread the cost of a vehicle over time, instead of paying the full amount upfront. For many buyers in Côte d’Ivoire, that can be the difference between delaying a purchase and moving ahead.

For businesses, access to predictable vehicle credit can support fleet renewal and expansion. This matters for sectors like logistics, field services, and distribution, where vehicles are core to daily performance.

For the bank, the partnership is also a distribution play. Working directly with an auto sector partner can reduce friction for customers and may help the bank grow its retail and SME lending book through a clearer, asset-backed product.

For the dealership and automotive side, having a financing partner in place can lift conversion rates, since customers can move from selection to payment plan in one flow.
