African Bank has announced that Basani Maluleke has been appointed as group CEO effective 1 April 2018.<\/p>\n

This follows the previously announced retirement of current CEO, Brian Riley on 31 March 2018, it said on a statement on Thursday (29 March).<\/p>\n

“Maluleke has been an integral part of executing African Bank\u2019s turnaround strategy since her appointment as a non-executive in July 2015 and subsequent transition to Group Executive for Operations on 3 July 2017. We look forward to working with her in her capacity as CEO,” the bank said.<\/p>\n

Speaking on her appointment, Maluleke said that she was most excited about the launch of African Bank’s transactional product offering, ‘My World’ which has already been introduced to bank staff.<\/p>\n

Expected to launch later this year, Maluleke said that ‘My World’ will offer customers a unique family product that is supported by digital convenience and ‘near free pricing’.<\/p>\n
