Bank Windhoek scoops second place at Battle of the Banks
On Saturday, 16 November, Bank Windhoek secured second place at the Battle of the Banks competition hosted by ICAP Training Solutions South Africa.
Bank Windhoek’s Managing Director Baronice Hans said this achievement underscores the exceptional talent within Bank Windhoek.
“It highlights the value of investing in initiatives that build local expertise while strengthening our competitive edge in the banking sector. This achievement reflects more than just recognition for Bank Windhoek; it represents our commitment to nurturing and empowering talent as part of our strategic pillars,” she said.
Hans added that competitions like this enhance individual skills and position the bank as a thought leader in the banking industry locally and across Africa.
The competition designed to enhance the skills of African bankers, brought together participants from Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritius and South Africa. While competing against other African financial institutions, Bank Windhoek’s participating team demonstrated outstanding performance across all modules with the guidance of Bank Windhoek’s Chief Financial Officer, Zenaune Kamberipa, and Chief Treasurer, Claire Hobbs.
The Battle of the Banks launched in 2017, has grown into a pivotal initiative for advancing the skills and knowledge of banking professionals across the continent. Its impact was recognised in 2018 when it received the Thomson Reuters Best Partner Award.
In 2023, its reach expanded through a partnership with Andile, further solidifying its position as a premier platform for professional growth. Based in South Africa, Andile is a financial services company that specialises in Capital Markets Technology (CMT) and provides services to banks and financial institutions across the African continent and abroad.
“We celebrate their remarkable accomplishment as the team returns to share their experiences and insights with the broader banking environment,” Hans concluded.
