Part of our growth strategy is the introduction of new skills and proficiency, so we are delighted to share our appointment of the new Head: Alliance Banking, Meagan Rabe (BCOM, LLB, CFP), effective 1 November 2021. Reporting directly to SA CEO, Chrisanthi Michaelides, Rabe joins the team from Sasfin Bank, where she garnered significant experience in building new alliance partnerships.
The Access Alliance Banking team is continuing to grow and change as we build our own abilities to continue provide leading capabilities in developing and running these important strategic partnerships.

A seasoned Banking executive with a strong innovation mindset, Rabe has developed banking product and divisions from grass roots level to sizeable businesses, and has a wealth of banking, payments, lending, legal and commercial experience to head up Alliance Business as we grow capacity to serve this sector.
Says Rabe: “I look forward to building on Access Bank’s existing Alliance Banking competence, leveraging off new technologies and open banking frameworks to offer a superior service to our partners and clients in South Africa and across the continent.
“This is an exciting time for Access Bank customers and their clients, as well as our partners.”
Rabe joins Access Bank at a seminal time for Alliance Banking, as we take our robust legacy and experience in this business to scale up capacity to ensure our position as a leader in this important division.
